The<unk>  are characteristic molecules for cell<unk> s, e.g. cell surface<unk> , mRNAs, or internal proteins. Certain antibodies can be used to detect or purify cells with these<unk>  by binding to their surface antigens. A standard cocktail of antibodies can be designed to remove or purify mature hematopoietic cells or to detect Cluster of differentiation from a sample. Those antibodies are e.g. targeted to CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, NK1.1, B220, TER-119, and Gr-1 in mice and CD3 (T lymphocytes), CD14 (Monocytes), CD16 (NK cells, granulocytes), CD19 (B lymphocytes), CD20 (B lymphocytes), and CD56 (NK cells) in humans.
