Target Details for CD2

Target: CD2

Alternative Name: CD2

Background: CD2, also known as leukocyte function-associated antigen-2 (LFA-2), is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. (Ref.1) It is expressed on the surface of >95 % of thymocytes, and essentially all B cells, T cells and NK cells. (Ref.1-3) In the mouse, CD2 is the receptor for CD48. (Ref.4) CD2 is thought to play a major role in mediating T-cell adhesion, T-cell recognition/activation, T-cell signaling and intrathymic differentiation.
