CD43 is a nonlineage antigen that is expressed on several cell types such as T-lymphocytes, granulocytes and monocytes. The CD43-antibody induces apoptosis of lineage marker-negative bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells that express CD34 at a high density (CD34hi LIN-). However stem cells, more primative cells and differentiated myeliod and mature lymphocytes do not respond to CD43 mediated stimulation by apoptosis. Therefore it appears to be a narrow window within the differentiation pathway of stem cells towards mature hematopoietic cells that seems sensitive to apoptosis triggered by CD43.
