List and summary of all human CD antigens from CD1a to CD371.
Updated August 5, 2021
The cluster of differentiation (CD) is a nomenclature system that identifies and classifies antigens found on the cell surface of leukocytes. Adopted in 1982, the Human Cell Differentiation Molecules organization continues to hold HLDA conferences to maintain and develop the list of known CD markers.
Download the chart (PDF) and find your human CD antigen quicker.
Under the CD system, antigens that are well characterized are assigned an arbitrary number (eg CD1, CD2, etc.). In contrast, molecules recognized by just one monoclonal antibody have the provisional designation 'CDw' (eg CDw50). Lower class letters indicate larger molecules with a chain in common (eg CD1a or CD1d). Physiologically, CD molecules do not belong to any particular class, with functions ranging from cell surface receptors to adhesion molecules. The CD molecule naming convention has expanded to cover different species (eg, mice) and other cell types.
With the table below you can find the best abcam products to detect your target of interest, as well as information on the expression and functions of the target from relevant scientific literature.

| CD354 | TREM-1 | Monocytes, tissue macrophages, and neutrophils. | Engagement of receptor leads to activation of a cascade of intracellular events, resulting in the production of many chemokines, which amplifies inflammatory responses. |
| CD355 | CRTAM | NK and T-cell subsets, splenocytes, thymocytes, peripheral blood leukocytes and Purkinje cells. | Involved in the early immune response to certain infections. A marker to identify NK cells. |
| CD357 | TNFRSF18, AITR, GITR | T-cells (with increased expression upon cell activation), NK cells, lymphocytes, peripheral blood leukocytes and some myeloid populations. | Plays an important role in regulating immune responses by providing signals to boost T-cell activation. |
| CD358 | TNFRSF21, Death receptor 6 (DR6) | Weak expression on resting peripheral CD4+ T-cells, but upregulated upon TCR stimulation; Tfh cells | Associated with regulation of T cell function in immunological diseases. May activate NF-kB and promote apoptosis. |
| CD360 | IL-21R, IMD56 | Lymphoid tissues, particularly thymus and spleen. | Receptor for interleukin-21, important for the proliferation and differentiation of T-, B-, and NK cells, as well as tumor progression. |
| CD361 | EVI2B, D17S376, EVDB | B-cells, bone marrow, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, fibroblasts and Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines. Expressed in most hematopoietic populations. | Involved in regulation of myeloid differentiation and HSPC function. |
| CD362 | Syndecan-2, HSPG, SDC2, SYND2 | T-cells, bone marrow- and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. | Functions as integral membrane protein and mediates cell proliferation, cell migration and cell-matrix interactions. |
| CD363 | S1PR1, D1S3362, edg-1 | Endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and melanocytes. | Receptor for the lysosphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). This inducible epithelial cell G-protein-coupled receptor may be involved in the processes that regulate the differentiation of endothelial cells and immune cell regulation |
| CD364 | PI-16, dj90K10.5, MGC45378, CRISP9 | Endothelial cells. | Inhibits cell migration when over-expressed. |
| CD365 | HAVCR1, TIM-1 | T cells, regulatory immune cells and APCs. | Receptor for hepatitis A virus and TiMD4. May be involved in the moderation of asthma and allergic diseases. |
| CD366 | HAVCR2, TIM-3, TIMD3 | CD4+ CD8+ T-cells, Th17 cells, regulatory T-cells and innate immune cells. | Immune checkpoint marker that mediates CD8+ T-cell exhaustion. |
| CD367 | CLEC4, DCIR, DDB27, CLECSF6 | Dendritic cells. | Involved in response to pathogens through support of type I IFN signaling to protect host tissue. |
| CD368 | CLEC4D, MCL, CLECSF8, CLEC-6, MPCL | Monocytes subsets. | Activating C-Lectin Receptor, acts as receptor for mycobacteria. |
| CD369 | Dectin-1, CLECSF12, CLEC7A | HSPCs. | Plays a main role in macrophage polarization. |
| CD370 | HEEE9341, UNQ9341, DNGR1, CLEC9A | Dendritic cells, monocyte subpopulations | Functions as activation receptor upon binding dead cell debris. Promotes atherosclerosis and pancreatitis. |
| CD371 | CLEC12A, CLL-1, MICL, DCAL-2 | Monocytes, macrophages, myeloid dendritic cells, strong expression in B-ALL. | C-lectin receptor involved in antigen capturing. Regulates inflammation in response to cell death. |
