CD45 (leukocyte common antigen T200 or protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C polypeptide)

Function: - required for T & B cell antigen receptor-mediated activation Alternative splicing: at least 8 isoforms Expression: - present on all leukocytes - different isoforms are expressed in different subsets of hematopoietic cells: a) CD45RA: naive/resting T cells, medullary thymocytes - expressed in hematopoietic cells, stronger staining in lymphocytes - expressed in red blood cells, non-hematopoietic cells - in the CNS, CD45 is a marker of microglia [4] Pathology: - lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, anaplastic lymphoma, multiple myeloma - Reed-Sternberg cells stain negatively with antibody
