CD42b
Use
CD42b glycoprotein is expressed on the cell surface of megakaryocytes in bone marrow and platelets in blood vessels. Occasional staining is also observed in the basal epithelial of skin. Absence of CD42b antigen on platelets is reported to be a possible indicator of Bernard-Soulier disease.
