This antibody recognises the rat CD200 cell surface antigen, also known as OX-2, a type I membrane glycoprotein, expressed on rat thymocytes, neurons, follicular dendritic cells, endothelium and at low levels on some B cells and smooth muscle cells.The CD200-CD200 ligand system is important in the control of macrophage and granulocyte activation. Mouse anti Rat CD200 antibody, clone OX-2 blocks OX-2 mediated T cell co-stimulation. Mouse anti Rat CD200 antibody, clone OX-2 is routinely tested by flow cytometry on rat thymocytes.
