Description
The MIH18 monoclonal antibody reacts with human B7-DC, also known as PD-L2. B7-DC, a recently identified member of the B7 family, has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 25 kDa and belongs to the Ig superfamily. B7-DC is primarily expressed by subpopulations of dendritic cells and monocytes/macrophages. Although B7-DC has structural and sequence similarities to the B7 family, it does not bind CD28/CTLA-4, rather it is a ligand for PD-1. The interactions between PD-1 and B7-DC/PD-L2 have been reported to be involved in costimulation or suppression of T cell proliferation depending on state of cellular activation. MIH18 is a useful tool for studies to elucidate the exact function of B7-DC/PD-L2 in APC/T cell interaction and to characterize the expression pattern of this molecule in humans. MIH18 is a blocking antibody.
Usage
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The MIH18 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applicability of this mAb for other assays, including functional studies, is currently under investigation.
Applications Tested
The MIH18 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mature dendritic cells and human peripheral blood leukocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 ìg per 100 ìl blood (or per 1 million cells in 100 ìl total staining volume). It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
