Chicken CRTAM binds nectin-like 2 ligand and is upregulated on CD8+ αβ and γδ T lymphocytes with different kinetics.

During a search for immunomodulatory receptors in the chicken genome, we identified a previously cloned chicken sequence as CRTAM homologue by its overall identity and several conserved sequence features. For further characterization, we generated a CRTAM specific mab. No staining was detectable in...
