CD2, also known as LFA-2 or T11, is a cell surface glycoprotein that plays a fundamental role in T cell activation and adhesion. Expressed primarily on T lymphocytes and natural killer cells, CD2 mediates cell-cell interactions through binding with LFA-3 (CD58), facilitating the initial contact between T cells and antigen-presenting cells. This interaction is critical for immune synapse formation and subsequent T cell signaling, making CD2 a valuable marker for immunological research and studies investigating T cell-mediated immune responses.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 6F10, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Produced using recombinant technology in rabbit host, this antibody provides sequence-defined specificity against human CD2, ensuring that results remain comparable across experiments and over time. The affinity-chromatography purification process delivers a reagent with minimal background interference.
Validated for Western blot applications, this antibody has demonstrated reliable detection across multiple human cell lines including HepG2, COLO205, and MCF-7 at dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:2000. In Western blot analysis, the antibody detects a band at approximately 24 kDa, which differs from the predicted molecular weight of 39 kDa. This size difference likely reflects proteolytic processing or detection of a specific CD2 isoform, as the protein undergoes post-translational modifications in cellular contexts.
This CD2 antibody serves researchers investigating T cell biology, immune cell adhesion mechanisms, and lymphocyte activation pathways. Its utility extends to studies examining tumor immunology and immune checkpoint regulation, where understanding T cell surface marker expression provides critical insights into immune function and dysfunction.
