CAMPATH-1 antigen,also known ascluster of differentiation52(CD52), is aglycoproteinthat in humans is encoded by theCD52gene.

CD52 is present on the surface of maturelymphocytes,but not on thestem cellsfrom which these lymphocytes were derived. It also is found onmonocytes[3]anddendritic cells.[4]Further, it is found within the male genital tract and is present on the surface of maturesperm cells.

CD52 is apeptideof 12 amino acids, anchored toglycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI). Since it is highly negatively charged and present on sperm cells and lymphocytes, it has been conjectured that its function is anti-adhesion, allowing cells to freely move around.[5]

CD52 binds the ITIM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif)-bearing sialic acid-binding lectinSIGLEC10.

Clinical significance[edit]

It is associated with certain types oflymphoma.[6]

It is the protein targeted byalemtuzumab,amonoclonal antibodyused for the treatment ofchronic lymphocytic leukemiaandorgan transplantation.A phase III trial into treatment of relapsing-remittingmultiple sclerosisshowed a reduction in relapse rate, but no statistically significant reduction in accumulated disability, when used as a first-line therapy.[7]However, a sister study looking at patients in whom relapses had occurred despite treatment withinterferon betaorglatiramerdemonstrated reduction in both relapse rate and accumulated disability. 20% patients randomised to interferon beta 1a had "sustained accumulation of disability" compared with 13% in the alemtuzumab group.[8]
