CD2 antibody recognizes CD2 molecule, a cell surface glycoprotein encoded by the CD2 gene and also referred to as LFA-2 and T cell surface antigen CD2 in the literature. CD2 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is predominantly expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. This CD2 antibody is designed to support research applications focused on T cell development, activation, and immune cell characterization.
CD2 functions as an adhesion and co-stimulatory receptor that binds to CD58, promoting stable interactions between T cells and antigen-presenting cells. Through this interaction, CD2 enhances T cell receptor signaling and contributes to downstream activation events including cytokine production and proliferation. The protein contains extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains, a single transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail involved in intracellular signaling cascades. CD2 is localized primarily to the plasma membrane, where it participates in immune synapse formation and cell-cell communication.
Physiologically, CD2 is expressed in thymocytes, mature peripheral T cells, and natural killer cells within lymphoid tissues and peripheral blood. Its restricted expression pattern makes it a valuable marker for T cell lineage identification in research settings. In pathologic contexts, CD2 expression is relevant in studies of T cell leukemias and lymphomas, where membranous staining patterns can assist in immunophenotypic characterization. Clone LFA2/8845R is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody produced through defined sequence expression to promote batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. CD2 antibody can be used to investigate immune cell adhesion mechanisms, T cell signaling pathways, and lymphoid tissue architecture in experimental systems.
Optimal dilution of the CD2 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant fragment corresponding to the N-terminal of human CD2 protein was used as the immunogen for the CD2 antibody.
Aliquot the CD2 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
