Product details:
Human CD5 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of CD5 protein in Tissue extracts, Cell Lysate. Quantitate Human CD5 with 2.9 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

CD5 also known as T1 or Leu-1 is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 67 kDa. It is expressed mainly on the surface of T cells and a subset of B cells. CD5 plays a major role in the regulation of immune responses. It functions by modulating T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling often acting as a negative regulator to prevent excessive immune activation. Researchers often utilize CD5 antibodies such as those conjugated with PerCP for immunohistochemistry (IHC) to study this protein's expression and distribution.
Biological function summary
CD5 is essential in the immune system's ability to maintain tolerance to self-antigens thereby preventing autoimmune responses. CD5 forms part of a receptor complex on the cell surface that interacts with ligands and other receptors to fine-tune immune cell signaling. Its localization and function in T cells relate closely to its ability to modulate signaling pathways essential for cell survival and proliferation. This modulation is important for ensuring that immune responses are appropriate to the stimuli encountered.
Pathways
CD5 is involved in signal transduction processes important for immune tolerance and modulation. It intersects with pathways like the T cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway. These pathways involve interaction with proteins like Zap70 a tyrosine kinase related to TCR signaling and the downstream activation of transcription factors that regulate immune responses. The protein CRIS1 also appears in some pathway interactions highlighting the interconnected nature of immune regulatory proteins.
CD5 has significant associations with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) where its modulatory role can affect autoantibody production. Additionally CD5 in conjunction with proteins like OX19 correlates with certain lymphoproliferative disorders including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In these disorders the expression and function of CD5 may impact disease progression and patient response to therapy making it a potential target for intervention in immune-related conditions.
