Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3/CD58) is a single-pass type I membrane protein. CD58 is widely expressed on hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic human tissue and has been found on leukocytes; erythrocytes; endothelial cells; epithelial cells and fibroblasts of human origin. It is a Ligand of the T-lymphocyte CD2 glycoprotein. This interaction is important in mediating thymocyte interactions with thymic epithelial cells; antigen-independent and -dependent interactions of T-lymphocytes with target cells and antigen-presenting cells and the T-lymphocyte rosetting with erythrocytes. In addition; the LFA-3/CD2 interaction may prime response by both the CD2+ and LFA-3+ cells.
Recombinant Human CD58 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Phe29-Arg215 is expressed with a Fc tag at the C-terminus.
