Background Information
Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family 2 (SLAMF2, CD48) is an adhesion and costimulatory molecule expressed constitutively on most hematopoietic cells, particularly in antigen-presenting cells (APC). CD48 is expressed on all the hematopoietic cells, both in humans and mice, except for murine neutrophils and long-term HSC. CD48 exists as both a membrane-bound (mCD48) and a soluble (sCD48) form. CD48 can activate T cells, antigen-presenting cells and granulocytes, by binding to CD2 or bacterial FimH, and through cell intrinsic effects. Interactions between CD48 and its high-affinity ligand CD244 are more complex, with both stimulatory and inhibitory outcomes. CD48 expression is increased in autoimmunity and allergy diseases, and anti-CD48 monoclonal antibodies have been shown to attenuate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
