The HM48-1 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD48 also known as BCM1, Blast-1 (human), and OX-45 (rat). CD48 is a 45 kDa GPI-anchored glycoprotein and a member of the SLAM family and Ig superfamily. CD48 is expressed on T and B lymphocytes as well as monocytes and macrophages. CD48 plays a critical role in adhesion and T cell activation. The primary ligands for CD48 are CD2 and CD244. The HM48-1 antibody is reported to block the CD48/CD2 and CD48/CD244 interactions in vivo as well as inhibit the proliferative response of mitogen-activated spleen cells, provide a co-stimulatory signal for activated T cells in vitro, and prolong cardiac allograft survival in vivo.
