Claim: CD99 is expressed on all leukocytes but highest on thymocytes and is believed to augment T-cell adhesion and apoptosis of double positive T cells, and has been found in endothelial cells and in the periodontium, including gingival fibroblasts and gingival epithelial cells, as well as participates in migration and activation.
