| Product Name | Anti-CD58 (LFA-3) Monoclonal Antibody, APC |
|---|---|
| Description | Mouse monoclonal antibody to human CD58 (LFA-3) Affinity purified. CD58, or LFA3, is a membrane glycoprotein of 55kDa to 70kDa and is mapped to chromosome 1p. It occurs in two forms, one transmembrane with a cytoplasmic domain, the other form anchored in the membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol tail. The complete amino acid sequence of both forms has been deduced from cDNA. It is heavily N-glycosylated. CD58 is a cell adhesion molecule which plays a critical role in facilitation of antigen specific recognition through interaction with CD2 on T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of molecules. CD58 has a wide tissue distribution, being present on erythrocytes, platelets, monocytes, a subset of lymphocytes, bone marrow cells, fibroblasts, epithelium and endothelium cells. There are approximately 5000 CD58 molecules on each erythrocyte. There is reduced expression of CD58 on cells of individuals with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria. |
