CD6(Cluster of Differentiation 6) is a human protein encoded by the CD6 gene. It is mapped to 11q12.2. CD6 is expressed predominantly in peripheral T cells and mature medullary thymocytes. This gene encodes a protein found on the outer membrane of T-lymphocytes as well as some other immune cells. The encoded protein contains three scavenger receptor cysteine-rich(SRCR) domains and a binding site for an activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule. The gene product is important for continuation of T cell activation. What's more, this gene may be associated with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis.
Sample Type
Cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA)
Intended Use
For quantitative detection of human CD6 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
Specificity
Natural and recombinant human CD6
Test Principle
This human CD6 BioAssay™ ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for CD6 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for CD6 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human CD6 amount of sample captured in plate.
