This antibody clone BM-5 recognizes a nuclear and cytoplasmic antigen expressed in Human granulocytes, monocytes, and myeloid precursor cells. BM-5 is an early marker of myeloid differentiation and is specific marker for Human myeloid cells. BM-5 has no reactivity with any other cell type in human tissues.
Until recently, immunological markers for myeloid cells have been lacking, especially those which identify different levels of cellular differentiation. This antibody stains early precursor and mature forms of human myeloid cells.Synonyms: Myeloid-associated differentiation marker, Protein SB135, UNQ553/PRO1110
