General description

CD21 (also known as complement receptor 2 (CR2), C3d receptor, or EBV receptor) is a 140 kDa membrane protein on B-lymphocytes to which the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) binds during infection of these cells. The antigen is absent on T-lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes.
Anti-CD21 is useful in the identification of follicular dendritic cell matrix found in normal lymph nodes and tonsillar tissue. This antibody also labels follicular dendritic cell sarcomas.

Anti-CD21 is valuable in differentiating follicular lymphoma with marginal zone differentiation from marginal zone lymphoma with follicular involvement. It also plays a role in distinguishing among nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoma, and T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma in combination with other B-cell and T-cell markers.Anti-CD21 is also useful in identifying abnormal follicular dendritic cell pattern in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and follicular T-cell lymphoma.

Linkage

CD21 Positive Control Slides, Product No. 121S, are available for immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections).

A number of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that recognize human follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) have been identified. Although some of them have already been applied individually in routine immunolabeling using formalin-fixed paraffin sections for diagnostic and experimental purposes, many antibodies are
