Abstract excerpt
CD2 mediates interaction between T cells and their cognate partners through its CD58-binding membrane-distal adhesion domain (D1) facilitating T cell receptor (TCR) triggering. A neoepitope defined by anti-CD2R monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has suggested structural alteration within the CD2 ectodomain during T cell activation. Here, we map CD2R to the flexible CD2 linker region between D1 and the membrane-proximal...
