General Notes
Mouse anti Pig SWC5 antibody, clone b37c10 recognizes the porcine SWC5 cell surface antigen. SWC5 has a molecular weight of 180 kDa and is expressed only on subset of ?/d T cells. SWC5 and CD2 expression divides ?d T cells into three subpopulations: CD2-SWC5-, CD2-SWC5+ and CD2+SWC5- ?d T cells subsets. The vast majority of CD2-SWC5- and CD2-SWC5+ T cells are negative for CD8a and SLA-DR and positive for CD27. Only thymus and spleen has an extra CD2+SWC5+ population.
