a carbohydrate adhesion molecule that can be expressed on glycoproteins, glycolipids and proteoglycans, mediating phagocytosis and chemotaxis; used as a marker in mostly hematologic malignancies

CD18noun

a protein forming membrane-bound complexes with CD11s, its lack causing leukocyte adhesion deficiency, and also occurring in a soluble form which plasma levels are inversely correlated with disease activity in spondyloarthritis.

CD19noun

protein found on the surface of most B-cells, associating with the B-cell receptor complex

CD20noun

a glycosylated phosphoprotein expressed on all stages of B cell development except the first and last

CD21noun

B-cell and FDC membrane protein involved in the complement system and B cell coreceptor complex, and bound by EBV.

CD22noun

a molecule found on the surface of mature B cells and to a lesser extent on some immature B cells, helping to prevent the overactivation of the immune system and the development of autoimmune diseases

CD23noun

a C-type lectin acting as receptor for IgE, found on mature B cells, activated macrophages, eosinophils, follicular dendritic cells, and platelets

CD3noun

an 80-mm (3-inch) CD (compact disc)

CD30noun

a cell membrane protein of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, serving as a tumor marker and the target of brentuximab vedotin

CD33noun

a transmembrane receptor expressed on blood cells of myeloid lineage, though also found on some lymphoid cells

CD35noun

a protein that constitutes the Knops blood group system; it processes and clears complement opsonized immune complexes

plural of CD3

CD4noun

A glycoprotein found on the surface of helper T cells and several other types of immune cells.

CD4+noun

A helper T cell.

CD40noun

a costimulatory protein found on antigen presenting cells and required for their activation by CD154 of T_H cells, with deficiency of CD40 possibly leading to hyper-IgM syndrome type 3.

CD42noun

a factor on platelets that helps bind von Willebrand factor, hence facilitating platelet adhesion and plug formation at sites of vascular injury.

CD43noun

a transmembrane cell-surface sialoglycoprotein on certain immune cells, defective in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
