CD35 Antibody

CD35, complement receptor 1, is a cell membrane-bound, monomeric glycoprotein on numerous cell types including erythrocytes, leukocytes, glomerular podocytes, and follicular dendritic cells. The primary function of CD35 is to serve as the cellular receptor for C3b and C4b, the most important components of the complement system leading to clearance of foreign macromolecules.CD35 antigen is found on erythrocytes, B cells, a subset of T cells, monocytes, as well as eosinophils, and neutrophils. Anti-CD35 is considered a mature B-cell marker which labels follicular dendritic reticulum cells and tumors derived from such cells such as follicular dendritic cell tumor/sarcoma.
