Anti-CD5L Antibody

Raised in rabbits against the CD5 antigen-like (CD5L) protein, this unconjugated polyclonal IgG primary antibody from Antibodies.com is supplied as a 50 µl liquid aliquot. CD5L, also referred to in the literature as AIM (Apoptosis Inhibitor of Macrophages) or Spα, is a secreted member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily that is expressed predominantly by tissue macrophages in liver, spleen, and lymphoid compartments, where it contributes to lipid homeostasis, modulation of apoptosis, and innate immune signaling. The reagent is validated for Western Blot detection of human and mouse CD5L in research lysates. For handling, aliquot the antibody upon arrival and store at -20 °C, limiting freeze-thaw cycles to preserve polyclonal reactivity through the reagent's working shelf life.
