Catalog No. ABIN125760

Product Details anti-CD2 Antibody (FITC)

Target: CD2

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD2 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: The antibody LT2 reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD2, a 50 kDa glycoprotein present on the human peripheral blood T lymphocytes and NK cells, also expressed by all thymocytes.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Normal human blood lymphocytes.

Clone: LT2

Background: CD2 Molecule,CD2 belongs to T lymphocyte glycoproteins of immunoglobulin superfamily. Its interaction with CD58 stabilizes adhesion between T cells and antigen presenting or target cells. Relatively low affinity of CD2 to CD58 (as measured in solution) is compensated within the two-dimensional cell-cell interface to provide tight adhesion. Moreover, T cell activation induces increased CD2 expression and its lateral mobility, making easier contact between CD2 and CD58. Subsequently, T cell activation causes fixation of CD58-CD2 at sites of cell-cell contact, thereby strengthening intercellular adhesion. CD2 deficiency reduces intestinal inflammation and helps to control infection.,T11, LFA-2, SRBC
