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
