Tool Details
- Tool name: Anti-CD21 [BU79]
- Alternate names: Complement receptor type 2; CR2; complement C3d receptor, C3DR, Epstein-Barr virus receptor
- Clone: BU80
- Tool type: Antibodies
- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Reactivity: Human

- Description: Cluster of differentiation 21 (CD21) is a protein encoded by the CR2 gene in humans. It is involved in the complement system and binds to iC3b (an inactive derivative of C3b). B cells are known to have CR2 receptors on their surfaces allowing the complement system to act in B-cell maturation and activation. Genetic variations are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus type 9 (SLEB9) which is a chronic autoimmune disease with an inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes.
