The immune system works through leucocytes interacting with each other, with other cells, with tissue matrices, with infectious agents and with other antigens. These interactions are mediated by cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids. Antibodies against these leucocyte molecules have provided powerful tools for analysis of their structure, function and distribution. Antibodies have been used widely in haematology, immunology and pathology, and in research, diagnosis and therapy. The associated CD nomenclature is commonly used when referring to leucocyte surface molecules and antibodies against them. It provides an essential classification for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The most recent (8th) Workshop and Conference on Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens (HLDA), held in Adelaide in December 2004, allocated 95 new CD designations and made radical changes to its aims and future operational strategy in order to maintain its relevance to modern human biology and clinical practice.
