Histonetters,
Labcoats are dangerous; I use disposable aprons. Chairs (pockets hooking up
or wheels rolling over the tail) are  just one reason why I never wear lab
coat.  I'm six foot eight and look mighty stupid when a lab coat pocket
latches onto a doorknob or a bannister in a stairwell as I'm running to
answer that stain timer!

CD stands for cluster designation and each CD is applied to a molecule
like a transmembrane receptors for growth factors or cytokines, also
integrins and cell adhesion molecules- I don't think they are limited to
leukocytes though that's where the earliest members were found. All
antibody clones recognizing different epitopes of the same molecule get the
same cluster designation.
