To initiate a specific immune response, lymphoid cells integrate a variety of signals generated through the orchestrated interaction of multiple cell surface molecules with their counter-receptors. As a result of the specific recognition of the antigen through antigen-specific receptors, and of the monitoring of their particular environment through the so-called coreceptor molecules, lymphoid cells go through elaborate processes of maturation and activation, contributing to the plasticity and sensitivity of immune response. CD43 is the major sialic acid rich protein on the surface of lymphocytes. However, the specific roles of this protein in different lymphoid cells under normal physiological conditions remain largely unknown. In this review we will mainly focus on the recent advances concerning the functions of this molecule as a coreceptor of different lymphoid cells as well as on the participation of this molecule in different pathologies.
