General Notes
Mouse anti Human CD48 antibody, clone MEM-102 recognizes human CD48, also known as B-lymphocyte activation marker BLAST-1, BCM1 surface antigen, Leukocyte antigen MEM-102, SLAM family member 2 or Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule 2. CD 48, as a mature molecule is a 193 amino acid, ~45 kDa cell membrane glycoprotein containing 2 Ig-like domains.CD48 acts as a counter-receptor for CD2 (Kato et al. 1992) and is involved in immune regulation and tolerance (McArdel et al. 2016)Mouse anti Human CD48 antibody, clone MEM-102 is useful for the visualisation of CD48 expressing cells by immunofluorescence (Enose-Akahata et al. 2009) and flow cytometry and may be used to differentiate haemapoietic tumors, sarcomas and melanomas.
