CD2 Antibody (Q10172) in Flow
Log fluorescence intensity profiles of human PBLs gated on lymphocytes and analyzed on a BD LSR II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) using 405 nm excitation and the specified emission filters. The data files were analyzed using FlowJo™ software (Treestar, Inc., www.flowjo.com). The black line represents cells stained with anti-human CD2 antibody conjugate and the gray line represents unstained cells. Note: Flow cytometric data shown may not necessarily have been generated using the enclosed lot of reagent. For this reason, and ... View More

Target Information
CD2 (LFA-2) is a monomeric surface antigen (MW range 45-58 kDa) of the human T-lymphocyte lineage that is expressed on all peripheral blood T cells. CD2 is one of the earliest T-cell markers, being present on more than 95% of thymocytes and it is also found on some natural killer cells, but not on B lymphocytes. Monoclonal antibodies directed against CD2 inhibit the formation of rosettes with sheep erythrocytes, indicating that CD2 is the erythrocyte receptor or is closely associated with it. The interaction between CD2 and 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. Diseases associated with CD2 dysfunction include penis squamous cell carcinoma and immune deficiency due to the absence of the thymus.
