Recombinant clonal CHO-K1 stable cell line constitutively expressing full length human CD2 protein. The surface expression of CD2 in this cell line was validated by flow cytometry.
Mycoplasma testing: The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Host Species: hamster
Supplied as Each vial contains 2 x 106 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO
Background
CD2 (Cluster of differentiation 2, also known as T11, SRBC, or LFA-2) is a cell adhesion molecule and surface antigen found on the surface of all peripheral blood T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. It is used as specific marker of T and NK cells. CD2 interacts with LFA3 (CD58) on antigen-presenting cells to optimize immune recognition. It also functions as a co-stimulator in T and NK cells. It is being investigated as a therapeutic target for the treatment of T cell lymphomas and leukemias.
Application
Screening or performing binding assays of antibodies against human CD2 in a cellular context.
