• Immunoglobulin (Ig) domain
• plasma membrane protein extracellular,
transmembranous and intracytoplasmic
Many molecules that play a direct or indirect role in the recognition of the
antigen of the immune system are
members of this family.
• Immunoglobulins
T lymphocyte receptor (TCR)
Class I and II major histocompatibility complex antigens (MHC class I and II)
CD2
LFA-2 (Lymphocyte function associated molecule-2) LFA-3
CD4 and CD8
• Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54)
• ICAM-2 (CD102) and ICAM-3 (CD50)
• Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)
• Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)
