Monoclonal Antibody to human CD27 (Clone 203.6)

Background
CD27 is a type II homodimeric transmembrane glycoprotein (M_r = 55 kDa) and a member of the nerve growth factor/tumor necrosis receptor superfamily.^1,2 The antigen was identified on medullar thymocytes, mature T lymphocytes (CD45RA+CD45RO- T-cell subpopulation), memory B cells, plasma, and NK cells. This antibody is well suited for immunohistochemical detection of CD27 in B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma samples.
