The BOND™ Polymer Refine Detection System on the BOND RX Automated Stainer (DS9800, Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany) was used for immunohistochemical labelling of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. The protocol includes a peroxide block, post-primary reagent, polymer detection, DAB chromogen, and haematoxylin counterstain, all automated to minimize variability. Antigen retrieval was performed by heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) for 20 minutes in Tris-EDTA buffer (BOND Epitope Retrieval Solution 2, AR9640, Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany). For mouse and rabbit antibodies, the sequence comprised peroxide block (10 min), primary antibody incubation (30 min), post-primary (10 min), polymer (10 min), DAB (10 min), and haematoxylin (8 min). For rat antibodies, an anti-rat step (1 : 300 dilution, Vector Laboratories, California, USA; 20 min) was included prior to polymer application (15 min).
For mouse tissues, antigen retrieval was performed using high pH buffers (Dako, Agilent), followed by blocking of endogenous peroxidase activity with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Slides were then incubated with the primary antibody. Antigen/antibody complexes detection was carried out using a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated visualization system (Novolink Polymer, Leica). Staining was developed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (EnVision FLEX DAB Enhancer, Dako, Agilent), and nuclei were counterstained with hematoxylin (FLEX Hematoxylin, SM806, Dako, Agilent). Images were acquired using an Axiocam CCD camera (Zeiss) and processed with ZEN 2.1 software and Photoshop 9.0.

Biological function summary
Complement receptor type 2 is key in the immune system by facilitating B cell activation and proliferation. CD21 forms complexes with CD19 and CD81 increasing the sensitivity of B cells to antigens. This interaction enhances signal transduction enabling B lymphocytes to respond effectively to pathogens. The protein also plays a role in regulating immune tolerance and maintaining humoral immunity being important not only in immune defense but also in preventing autoimmunity.
Pathways
CD21 interacts with complement activation and immune response pathways. It connects with CD19 in a pivotal role where it further amplifies signaling in B lymphocytes. This interaction strengthens the downstream signaling of BCR (B cell receptor) important for antibody production. CD21 contributes to bridging the innate and adaptive immunological pathways by engaging components like C3d.
