Background
The antibody against CD15 CD15 is a helpful tool for the identification of Reed-Sternberg-Cells in Hodgkin's disease. Occasionally CD15 is exprimed also in large cell B- and T-cell lymphoma. CD15 or X-Hapten plays a role in mediating phagocytosis, bacterial activity and chemotaxis. It is present on >95% of granulocytes including neutrophils and eosinophils and to a lesser degree monocytes. It is also present on Reed-Sternberg cells and on some epithelia. Human CD15 (3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine).
