CD25/ IL2RA (Activated Lymphocyte Marker)

Recognizes a protein of 55kDa, identified as CD25.It is expressed on activated T- and B-cells and activated monocytes/macrophages.With respect to lymphomas, CD25 is present on malignant cells of Hodgkins disease, HTLV-1+ adult T-cell leukemia, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and hair cell leukemia. Increased levels of soluble CD25 are observed in the leukemias/lymphomas and inflammatory/ autoimmune diseases. CD25 molecule alone appears to function as a low affinity receptor and associates with CD122 (IL-2R  chain, p75) and CD132 (common chain) to form the high affinity IL-2 receptor complex.CD25 antibodies detect three epitope regions, A, B and C. This MAb recognizes the epitope B, which is located at residue 3-104 of CD25 and doe not block IL-2 binding to CD25.
