The homologous protein in other species has been described as a differentiation antigen and influenza-virus receptor.

Perivascular microglia also react strongly to macrophage differentiation antigens.

Touloukian et al. have characterized OA1 immunologically as a melanoma/melanocyte differentiation antigen.

SLC45A2 is also a melanocyte differentiation antigen that is expressed in a high percentage of melanoma cell lines.

Mesothelin is a tumour differentiation antigen that is normally present on the mesothelial cells lining the pleura, peritoneum and pericardium.

Preparation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies recognizing two distinct differentiation antigens Pro-Im1, Pro-Im2 on early hematopoeitic cells.

Myeloid cell nuclear differentiation antigen is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MNDA gene.

Preparation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies recognizing three distinct differentiation antigens (BL1, BL2, and BL3) on human B lymphocytes.

The melanogenic enzymes tyrosinase, TYRP-1 and TYRP-2 are well-characterized differentiation antigens recognized by antibodies and T cells of patients with melanoma.

His principal research interest is the pan-epithelial differentiation antigen EpCAM, its involvement in tumour establishment and metastasis as well as its potential as a target for immunotherapy.

The CD nomenclature was proposed and established in the 1st International Workshop and Conference on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens (HLDA), which was held in Paris in 1982.
