Description

The RM2-5 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD2 molecule, an approximately 50-55 kDa cell surface receptor expressed by all mouse lymphocytes. Expression of the CD2 antigen in the mouse differs from that of the human in that B lineage cells in the mouse from the pre-B cell stage to mature B cells express CD2. CD2 is a ligand for CD48 in the mouse and is involved in adhesion and activation of T cells.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The RM2-5 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This RM2-5 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocyte and bone marrow cell suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
