General Notes
Rat anti Human CD52 antibody, clone YTH66.9HL recognizes human CD52, also known as CAMPATH-1. The CD52 antigen is a small heavily glycosylated peptide attached to the cell surface membrane via a GPI link. The apparent molecular mass of the antigen on SDS-PAGE is 25-29 kDa.CD52 is expressed at high density by lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, thymocytes and macrophages. It is expressed by most lymphoid derived malignancies, although expression on myeloma cells is variable.Humanized versions of CAMPATH-1 specific antibodies are used for the treatment of a range of lymphoid malignancies (Blatt et al. 2014).
