Many biological assays use antibodies to detect CD6, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with CD6 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop CD6 antibodies...
We validate the specificity of these antibodies to CD6 by testing them on tissues known to express CD6 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the CD6 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 96 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.
If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
Cell adhesion molecule that mediates cell-cell contacts and modulates T-cell responses through its interaction with ALCAM/CD166 (PubMed:15048703, PubMed:15294938, PubMed:16352806, PubMed:16914752, PubMed:24945728, PubMed:24584089). Contributes to signaling cascades triggered by activation of the TCR/CD3 complex (PubMed:24584089).
Functions as costimulatory molecule; promotes T-cell activation and proliferation (PubMed:15294938, PubMed:16352806, PubMed:16914752). Contributes to the formation and maturation of the immunological synapse (PubMed:15294938, PubMed:16352806).
Detected on thymocytes (PubMed:15294938). Detected on peripheral blood T-cells (PubMed:15048703, PubMed:16352806). Detected on natural killer (NK) cells (PubMed:16352806). Soluble CD6 is detected in blood serum (at protein level) (PubMed:17601777). Detected in spleen, thymus, appendix, lymph node and peripheral blood leukocytes (PubMed:9013954). Expressed by thymocytes, mature T-cells, a subset of B-cells known as B-1 cells, and by some cells in the brain.
Subcellular Localizations
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Detected at the immunological synapse, i.e, at the contact zone between antigen-presenting dendritic cells and T-cells (PubMed:15294938, PubMed:16352806). Colocalizes with the TCR/CD3 complex at the immunological synapse (PubMed:15294938).; [Soluble CD6]: Secreted. The origins of the secreted form are not clear, but it might be created by proteolytic shedding of the ectodomain.
