CD2 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN120360

Product Details anti-CD2 Antibody

Target: CD2

Reactivity: Rat

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: This monoclonal antibody reacts with the 50 kDa surface glycoprotein LFA-2, designated as CD2. LFA-2 is the receptor for LFA-3. This antibody labels all peripheral T cells and most thymocytes but does not label B cells or peritoneal macrophages. It does not activate T cells.

Purification: Protein G Chromatography

Immunogen: T blasts prepared in mixed lymphocyte reactions with purified rat T helper cells against irradiated spleen. Donor: BALB/c spleen Fusion Partner: NSO/1

Clone: OX-34

Isotype: IgG2a

Alternative Name: CD2 (CD2 Products)

Background: CD2 is a surface antigen of the human T lymphocyte lineage that is expressed on all peripheral blood T cells. It is one of the earliest T cell markers, being present on more than 95 % of thymocytes, it is also found on some natural killer cells but not on B lymphocytes. CD2 interacts with lymphocyte function associated antigen (LFA3) and CD48/BCM1 to mediate adhesion between T cells and other cell types. CD2 is implicated in the triggering of T cells, the cytoplasmic domain is implicated in the signaling function. It is useful for the identification of lymphomas and leukaemias of T cell origin.Synonyms: Erythrocyte receptor, LFA-2, LFA-3 receptor, Rosette receptor, SRBC, T-cell surface antigen CD2, T-cell surface antigen T11/Leu-5
