| Relevance | T-cell surface antigen CD2 is an antigen of the human T lymphocyte lineage that is expressed on all peripheral blood T cells. It is one of the earliest T cell markers, being present on more than 95% of thymocytes; it is also found on some natural killer cells but not on B lymphocytes. CD2 interacts with lymphocyte function associated antigen (LFA3/ CD58) and CD48/BCM1 to mediate adhesion between T cells and other cell types. Intracellularly, it interacts with lck. CD2 can be used for monitoring T-cell number in periperal blood, and identification of lymphomas and leukaemias of T-cell origin. |
