This antibody recognizes two proteins of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), the basic molecule expressed on most neuroectodermally derived cell lines, tissues and neoplasms.This antibody is useful for the identification of natural killer (NK) cells, NK-like T cells, neural/neuroendocrine tissues and related neoplasms. The antibody labels NK cells and a subset of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood. Outside the hematopoietic system, CD56 is expressed in a number of tumors, including neuroblastomas and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
