CD48 Antigen / BLAST1 (CD48) Antibody

Background

CD48, also known as SLAMF2 (Signaling Lymphocytic Activation Molecule Family Member 2), is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane protein that plays a crucial role in immune cell interactions and signaling. It is part of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is broadly expressed on the surface of various hematopoietic cells, including T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. CD48 is involved in the regulation of immune responses and has been implicated in various pathological conditions, including infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancers.
