Anti-Human CD2 NALE(TM) Purified (Clone: RPA-2.10)

The RPA-2.10 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human CD2, a 50 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein. CD2 is expressed on NK cells, thymocytes, T lymphocytes, and B cell subsets. CD2 is involved in cell-cell adhesion, T cell activation, and T cell signaling. Its ligand is CD58 and it is reported to bind to CD48, CD59, and CD15. The RPA-2.10 antibody is reported to be cross-reactive with pigs and non-human primates. Protein function: CD2 interacts with lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA-3) 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
