In immunology, the CD45 antigen (CD stands for cluster of differentiation) is a protein which is a leucocyte common antigen, a type I transmembrane protein present on all differentiated hematopoietic cells except erythrocytes that assists in the activation of those cells (a form of co-stimulation). It is expressed in lymphomas, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hairy cell leukemia, and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.
