  • STRUCTURE


    CD2 is a type 1 protein with two immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) domains. The N-terminal domain is the ligand binding domain.1 It has five proline-rich stretches in its cytoplasmic tail involved in signal transduction.2-4

    CD_NAME : CD2

    It is expressed at high density on thymocytes, T-cells and on NK cells. It is one of the earliest markers expressed in T-cell development. CD2 is also expressed on mast cells, a subset of thymic B cells and dendritic cells.1-3

  • GENE_NAME : CD2

    CD_NAME : CD2

    CD2 functions as an adhesion, between T cells and antigen-presenting cells or NK cells and target cells, and costimulatory molecule. CD2 is not essential for the development and function of T cells.1 It has been shown to regulate TCR-affinity thresholds for T cell activation.2
    CD2 colocalize with TCR in the center of the immne synapse, recruiting and activating several intracellular molecules, increasing T and NK cell signaling and cytotoxicity.3-5

    Cell marker

    Useful as a T and NK cell marker.
    Phenotypic typing and NK cell and T leukemias and lymphomas.1-3 CD2 is expressed on neoplastic mast cells.4 Myeloma cells also express significant levels of CD2.5

    Therapeutic

    Siplizumab (MEDI-507) is humanized monoclonal antibody against CD2 molecule that has been studied for the treatment of severe psoriasis and for prophylaxis of GvHD because of its T-cell depleting properties.6-8 Phase I/II trial of slipizumab in patients with malignant T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders have been initiated.9

    Alefacept (Amevive) is a CD58-immunoglobulin (Ig) Fc fusion protein that binds to CD2. It has been approved for the treatment of psoriasis.10 Recently, it has been tested for the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes.11
