C57BL/6 murine splenocytes are stained with AF Red 780 Anti-Mouse CD48 Antibody (filled gray histogram) or AF Red 780 Armenian Hamster IgG Isotype Control (empty black histogram).
CD48 is a 45 kD GPI-anchored glycoprotein also known as BCM1, Blast-1 (human), and OX-45 (rat). It is a member of the Ig superfamily, expressed on T and B cells and monocytes/macrophages. It plays a role in adhesion and T cell recognition. The primary ligands for CD48 are CD2 and CD244.
