CD86 PE-Cy5 (IT2.2, Mouse) - Reactivity: Human
| Description |
The IT2.2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD86. CD86 is a ~ 75 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein which is also known as B7-2 or B70. CD86 is primarily expressed on monocytes, dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, and activated B cells including B lymphoid cells in germinal centers and Epstein-Barr virus transformed B-cell lines. CD86 is a ligand for CD28 and CD152 (CTLA-4) and may play an important role in costimulation of T cells in primary immune responses. Competitive binding assays demonstrate that, while both the IT2.2 and FUN-1 monoclonal antibodies recognize the same CD86 molecule, they react with different epitopes. IT2.2 blocks the costimulation activity of CD86 in functional studies and blocks binding of human CTLA-4-Ig fusion protein to CD86 gene-transfected cells. |

This gene encodes a type I membrane protein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein is expressed by antigen-presenting cells, and it is the ligand for two proteins at the cell surface of T cells, CD28 antigen and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4. Binding of this protein with CD28 antigen is a costimulatory signal for activation of the T-cell. Binding of this protein with cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 negatively regulates T-cell activation and diminishes the immune response. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
PE-Cyanine®5 (PE-Cy5) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that combines phycoerythrin (PE) and Cy5. The donor molecule, PE can be excited by the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser and and transfers energy to the acceptor molecule, Cy5. PE-Cy5 has an excitation peak at 496 nm and an emission peak at 667 nm.
