CD2 / Qdot 705 / S5.5

Product Details
Description CD2 / LFA-2 Monoclonal Antibody, Qdot® 705 conjugate (S5.5). CD2 belongs to T lymphocyte glycoproteins of immunoglobulin superfamily. Its interaction with CD58 stabilizes adhesion between T cells and antigen presenting or target cells. Relatively low affinity of CD2 to CD58 (as measured in solution) is compensated within the two-dimensional cell-cell interface to provide tight adhesion. Moreover, T cell activation induces increased CD2 expression and its lateral mobility, making easier contact between CD2 and CD58. Subsequently, T cell activation causes fixation of CD58-CD2 at sites of cell-cell contact, thereby strengthening intercellular adhesion. CD2 deficiency reduces intestinal inflammation and helps to control infection.FACS Assay Dependent

About CD2
The protein encoded by this gene is a surface antigen found on all peripheral blood T-cells. The encoded protein interacts with LFA3 (CD58) on antigen presenting cells to optimize immune recognition. A locus control region (LCR) has been found in the 3' flanking sequence of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]
About Qdot 705
Qdot® 705 from Thermo Fisher Scientific is an inorganic nanocrystal with a surface functionalized to allow antibodies and biomolecules to be cross-linked. It is most efficiently excited between 320-405 nm but is capable of excitation across every laser less than its emission peak. It is significantly brighter and more photostable than traditional organic fluorophores, making it still useful for fluorescence microscopy, however its size and solubility issues make it a challenge to use in flow cytometry. In spectral flow cytometry it may still prove useful due to its very unique spectral characteristics
