Description: HIT11 is an anti-human monoclonal antibody that recognizes the CD2 antigen. CD2 (sometimes referred to as LFA-2) is a 45 kD single-pass type I membrane protein that is found on the surface of cells like T cells. CD2 has been thought to be involved with key biological processes such as cell-cell adhesion, especially heterotypic cell-cell adhesion. Also, in some organisms, it enhances myeloid dendritic cell activation, acts to positively regulate interferon-gamma secretion and is an enhancer of tumor necrosis factor production. CD2 is involved with key cellular pathways, for instance, the cell surface receptor signaling pathway. From a research standpoint, it is of biological interest due to its association with critical macromolecules/ligands such as LFA-3, CD59, CD58 and CD48. CD2 is a moderately popular antibody target, with over 16000 publications in the last decade. CD2 is often used in flow cytometry applications as a phenotypic marker for differentiation of cell types, particularly in the study of immunology. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography and conjugated to iFluor® 450 (ex/em = 451/502 nm). It is compatible with the 445 nm laser and 510/80 nm bandpass filter (for example, as in the BD FACSAria™ III).
