MeSH Heading: Antigens, Differentiation
Tree Number(s): D23.050.301.264; D23.101.100
Unique ID: D000943
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000943
Annotation: general or unspecified; prefer specific groups and specific differentiation antigens; note entry term LEU ANTIGENS but several specific Leu antigens are also available
Scope Note: Antigens expressed primarily on the membranes of living cells during sequential stages of maturation and differentiation. As immunologic markers they have high organ and tissue specificity and are useful as probes in studies of normal cell development as well as neoplastic transformation.
