CD3 is a highly specific marker for T Lymphocytes. It is expressed by T cells in thymus, bone marrow, peripheral lymphoid tissue and blood. The majority of T-cell neoplasm expresses the CD3 antigen, while it is absent from non-T-cell lymphoid malignancies. CD3 is an essential marker for the initial evaluation of chronic lymphoproliferative disorders.
