This product reacts with the human CD52 antigen, also known as CAMPATH-1. The CD52 antigen is a remarkably small peptide that is heavily glycosylated, and attached to the cell surface membrane via a GPI link. The apparent molecular mass of the antigen on SDS-PAGE is 25-29kD.

CD52 is expressed at high density by lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, thymocytes and macrophages. It is expressed by most lymphoid derived malignancies, although expression on myeloma cells is variable.

Humanised versions of CAMPATH-1 specific antibodies are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of a range of lymphoid malignancies.
