Bulk Anti-Human CD2 (G11) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Appropriate pairs of anti-CD2 antibodies will stimulate peripheral T-cell proliferation and effector function. The CD2 molecule has been shown to be the receptor for leukocyte function antigen (LFA-3/CD58), the binding of which augments T-cell activation mediated by the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) . Anti-Human CD2 can be used to deplete CD2 positive cells by complement-mediated cytotoxicity. Analyses of NK lymphocyte subsets and identification of lymphomas and leukemias of T-cell origin have been done using Anti-CD2 antibodies.
