Anti-CD48 Antibody

This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal IgG reagent targets CD48, a GPI-anchored cell-surface glycoprotein of the SLAM receptor family (also called BLAST-1 or SLAMF2) that is broadly expressed on lymphocytes and functions as a high-affinity ligand for CD2 and CD244 (2B4). Distributed by Antibodies.com, the antibody is supplied as a 50 µl liquid aliquot and is validated for Western blot detection of the target in human, mouse, and rat samples, supporting research in immunology, lymphocyte costimulation, and immune cell-surface marker profiling.

Typical applications include probing whole-cell lysates and tissue homogenates by immunoblotting to investigate CD48 expression on T cells, B cells, and NK cells, as well as its role in costimulatory signaling relevant to transplantation and immune activation studies. The reagent should be stored refrigerated and protected from light, with single-use aliquots recommended to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles and preserve lot-to-lot performance across multiple Western blot experiments.
