CD57 is expressed on subtypes of T-cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and other peripheral blood mononuclear cells. CD57 is also present in glial cells, a variety of other neural and epithelial cells, as well as various neural tumors. In addition, CD57 is expressed in prostate tissue, prostate adenocarcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinomas and thymomas.
Tissue-Tek Genie<sup>&reg;</sup><br /> anti-CD57 CD57 is highly expressed in neural tissues and a strong membraneous expression pattern is seen among neurons and glial elements in this normal cerebrum.
