This monoclonal antibody detects A2B5 in mammalian cells.

A2B5 (also known as F12A2B5) is a cell surface ganglioside expressed on developing thymic epithelial cells, oligodendrocyte progenitors, and neuroendocrine cells. It is highly expressed in embryonic and neonatal tissue, but in the adult mammalian brain its expression is restricted mainly to areas that retain neurogenic potential, such as the subventricular zone (SVZ). Hence, A2B5 is considered as a marker for immature glial-committed precursors, which are permanently generated in the SVZ. Its expression is also considered as a marker for various cancers, including astrocytoma, glioma, pancreatic islet tumors, and squamous cell carcinoma. Explants from A2B5+ tumor cells display a typical progenitor morphology and clearly indicate their immature state. Tumors expressing A2B5 antigen exhibit higher rates of recurrence.
