The L17F12 antibody is specific for human CD5, a 67 kD transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on most thymocytes, mature T cells, and a subset of B cells. CD5 is a member of the scavenger receptor superfamily and is present on approximately 70% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes. CD5 is involved in modulating antigen receptor signaling in both T and B cells and acts through binding of CD72, its receptor expressed on B cells.
