The present invention relates to molecules involved in cell-cell interactions in the immune system. In particular, the invention relates to a cell surface protein which contains certain classical cadherin characteristics, but it exhibits an apical distribution pattern on the surface of lymphocytes. The membrane location of this molecule correlates with the contact interface between T and B cells, and antibodies against an extracellular domain of this protein disrupt T cell/B cell interactions.

La présente invention porte sur des molécules impliquées dans l'interaction de cellules du système immun. L'invention porte notamment sur une protéine de surface cellulaire qui comporte certaines caractéristiques classiques de la cadhérine, mais qui présente une distribution apicale sur la surface des lymphocytes. L'emplacement de la membrane de cette molécule est en corrélation avec l'interface entre les lymphocytes T et B, et les anticorps contre un domaine extracellulaire de cette protéine interrompent les interactions des lymphocytes T/B.
