Background: | CD66b, also known as CEACAM8 (Carcinoembryonic antigen-related (CEA) cell adhesion molecule 8, is a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol- (GPI-) anchored glycoprotein. CD66b and related genes make up the CEA family belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is involved in cell cell communication*. In contrast to other members of the CEACAM gene family it does NOT serve as pathogen receptor (e.g. for Helicobacter pylori, Neisseria, Moraxella, Candida albicans). Immunologically CEACAMs are characterized as members of the CD66 cluster of differentiation. Antibodies to CD66b are commonly used in flow cytometry to distinguish granulocytes from other subtypes of leukocytes (B- and T-cells, NK-cells, Monocytes, DCs) In adults CEACAM8 is expressed in granulocytes together with CEACAM1, CEACAM3 and CEACAM6. |
