Overview
CD99 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by the CD99 gene and the functions of CD99 in cells in which CD99 was highly expressed have been studied and they were as follows: cell death of thymocytes and T lymphocytes, migration through monocyte endothelial junctions by adhesion and diapedesis, cell-cell adhesion in lymphocytes, maintenance of cellular morphology in Hodgkin and Reed/Sternberg cells, and recruitment of T cells.CD99 expression has been reported in many cell types, such as hematopoietic cells, endothelial cells, central nervous system ependymal cells, thymocytes, granular cells of the ovary, Sertoli cells, and pancreatic islet cells. And in tumors it expressed by virtually almost all Ewing s sarcoma and primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (ES/PNET) and demonstrates strong and diffuse membranous staining. Other tumors that may show CD99 expression include neuroendocrine carcinomas, mesenchymal chondrosarcomas, solitary fibrous tumors, synovial sarcomas, vascular tumors, small round blue cell tumors, lymphoblastic lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and myeloid sarcoma. Studies have shown that CD99 may be a sensitive marker for Ewing s sarcoma and peripheral neuroectodermal tumors.
This anti-CD99 antibody is supplied as Purified (Rabbit, Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal, clone MIC2/3478R, Rabbit IgG, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: CD99

- Localization: Cell surface
- Species reactivity: Human
- Applications (listed): IHC-P
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Clone and antibody class: Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal, clone MIC2/3478R, Rabbit IgG
Because antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.
Biological background
CD99 is referenced in public gene/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context. When designing assays, consider potential isoforms, post-translational modifications, and cell-type specific expression that may influence observed signal.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling CD99 expression across model systems, perturbations, and time points to support mechanistic hypotheses.
- Combining antibody-based detection with multi-omics or imaging readouts to link CD99 signal with phenotype.
- Using well-matched controls (isotype controls, genetic perturbations, or independent reagents) to strengthen interpretation of target-associated signal.
Common research applications
- IHC-P
Use the listed applications as a starting point and tailor experimental design to your sample type and readout requirements.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity considerations: closely related family members, isoforms, or PTMs can affect apparent specificity; confirm with independent approaches when critical.
- Controls: include negative controls and, when feasible, genetic or pharmacologic perturbations to support target attribution in your system.
- Species and sample context: differences in sequence, expression, fixation, or extraction conditions can change signal behavior across models.
