• Name: Anti-CD2 [X53 (X/3)]
• Alternate name: CD2 Molecule; CD2 Antigen (P5); Sheep Red Blood Cell Receptor; T-Cell Surface Antigen T11/Leu-5; Erythrocyte Receptor; Rosette Receptor; LFA-3 Receptor
• Research fields: Cancer;Cell biology;Immunology;Stem cell biology
• Clone: X53 (X/3)
• Tool sub type: Primary antibody
• Class: Monoclonal
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human
• Host: Mouse
• Application: FACS ; IHC
• Description: T-cell surface antigen CD2 is an 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/ CD58) and CD48/BCM1 to mediate adhesion between T cells and other cell types. Intracellularly, it interacts with lck. CD2 can be used for monitoring T-cell number in periperal blood, and identification of lymphomas and leukaemias of T-cell origin.
• Immunogen: T cell lymphoma cells
• Isotype: IgG1 kappa
• Myeloma used: P3/NS1/1-Ag4.1
