Description CD80 is a highly glycosylated 60 kD protein that is part of the Ig superfamily and is significantly involved in immune cell activation in response to pathogens. CD80 is closely related to, and works in tandem with CD86 (B7-2) to prime T- cells. CD80 binds to CTLA-4 to deliver an inhibitory signal to T cells. The ligation of CD28 on T cells with CD80 and CD86 on APCs co-stimulates T cells resulting in enhanced cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production. It is thought that CD80 interacts with a ligand on Natural Killer cells, activating the Natural Killer cell-mediated cell death of the CD80 carrier. The activation of Natural Killer cell-mediated death via CD80 interactions has potential as a possible cancer immunotherapy through the induction of CD80 expression on tumor cells.
About CD80 and FITC
CD80 The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane receptor that is activated by the binding of CD28 or CTLA-4. The activated protein induces T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. This protein can act as a receptor for adenovirus subgroup B and may play a role in lupus neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
FITC Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
