The Human CD2 Monoclonal Antibody PE-Cyanine5.5 Conjugated (TS1/8) is a powerful tool for flow cytometry and immunofluorescence studies involving CD2, a cell surface glycoprotein primarily found on T cells and natural killer cells. This monoclonal antibody is conjugated to PE-Cyanine5.5, allowing for multi-color flow cytometry applications and efficient detection of CD2-expressing cells.CD2 plays a crucial role in T cell activation and adhesion processes, making it a key marker for studying immune responses and immune cell interactions. The TS1/8 antibody specifically targets human CD2, providing researchers with a reliable and sensitive reagent for investigating T cell function, immune system dynamics, and lymphocyte biology.
With its high specificity and superior performance in flow cytometry, the Human CD2 Monoclonal Antibody PE-Cyanine5.5 Conjugated (TS1/8) is a valuable asset for researchers in immunology, cell biology, and therapeutic development. Its versatility and accuracy make it an essential tool for unraveling the complexities of the immune system and advancing our understanding of immune-related diseases.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 5 µL of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µL staining volume or per 100 µL of whole blood). Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.

Background:
CD2 is a 50 kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein also known as LFA-2, T11, and sheep red blood cell receptor (SRBC-R). This immunoglobulin superfamily member is expressed on thymocytes, T lymphocytes, NK cells, and thymic B cell subsets. The major ligand for CD2 is CD58 (also known as LFA-3). CD2 has also been reported to bind CD48, CD59, and CD15. CD2 plays a critical role in alternative T cell activation, T cell signaling, and cell-cell adhesion.
