CD2 is a type I glycoprotein belonging to the Ig superfamily and is expressed on T, NK, B, and some antigen-presenting cells. Human CD2 binds human CD58 on antigen-presenting cells to induce co-stimulating signals in T cells.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
