The M38 monoclonal antibody binds to human CD81, a 26 kD non-glycosylated member of the tetraspanin superfamily (TM4SF). CD81, also known as TAPA-1 (target of an antiproliferative antibody), is expressed on T and B cells, NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, thymocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts, and at low levels on granulocytes. CD81 induces B cell adhesion via VLA-4 integrin and has been shown to play a role in early T cell development. CD81 associates with several other cell surface proteins in multimolecular complexes, including CD19, CD21, CD20, CD37, CD53, and CD82 in B cells, and CD4, CD8, and CD82 in T cells.
