Mouse monoclonal [MMA] to CD15The CD15 antigen is expressed on approximately 90% human circulating granulocytes (membranes and granules), 30 to 60% of circulating monocytes and is absent from normal lymphocytes. CD15 antigen is also expressed on Reed Sternberg cells of Hodgkin's disease, on T cell lymphomas including mycosis fungoides and on some leukemias. Outside the hematopoietic system, CD15 expression is described in certain normal and neoplastic epithelial cells and in astrocytes. CD15 antibodies recognize the tri saccharide 3 fucosyllactosamine (3Fl) which is present in lacto N fucopentaose III and in the blood group antigen X hapten. At least 5 major CD15 antigens (105, 135, 165, 185, 220 kDa) are present on the surface membranes of polymorphonuclear cells. The hapten occurs also in glycolipids. CD15 plays a role in mediating phagocytosis, bactericidal activity and chemotaxis.
