Recognizes human neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), otherwise known as CD56. The CD56 molecule is a cell surface glycoprotein which is expressed on neuroendocrine cells, natural killer cells and a subset of T cells in the peripheral blood. Three main isoforms of CD56 exist. Neurons express the largest 180kD form, while hemopoietic cells express the 140kD isoform. Antibodies produced by clone 123C3 recognize the 140 and 180kD isoforms of the CD56 protein. In neuronal tissues, CD56 mediates homophilic and heterophilic adhesion and is implicated in neural development. Studies suggest that CD56 is also expressed on thyroid follicular epithelium and may play a role in autoimmune disease of the thyroid. CD56 is expressed in a range of tumors including tumors of the lung, neural derived malignancies and natural killer cell lymphomas.
