Product Overview
Recombinant human CD2 protein, fused to Histag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
Description
CD2, also known as T-cell surface antigen CD2, is a cell adhesion molecule found on the surface of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. It interacts with other adhesion molecules, such as lymphocyte function-associated antigen-3 (LFA-3/CD58) in humans, or CD48 in rodents. CD2 is a specific marker for T cells and NK cells. The great majority of T cell lymphomas and leukaemias also express CD2, making it possible to use the presence of the antigen to distinguish these conditions from B cell neoplasms.
