Anti-PD-L2/B7-DC (CD273) (Mouse) mAb

The TY25 antibody reacts with mouse B7-DC (PD-L2), a 42 kDa glycoprotein of the B7 family of the immunoglobulin superfamily. B7-DC is expressed by macrophages, monocytes, and sub-populations of dendritic cells. B7-DC has similarities with the rest of the B7 family, but it does not bind to CD28/CD152. The receptor for B7-DC is PD-1, which contains an Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif (ITIM), and is expressed on activated B and T cells. The interaction between B7-DC and its receptor seems to downregulate immune responses. However, B7-DC seems to be a costimulator of T lymphocytes, reacting with a receptor different than PD-1. B7-DC can bind and stimulate dendritic cells. It is also the first B-7 ligand involved in bidirectional communication. The TY25 monoclonal antibody blocks the binding of B7-DC to its receptor (PD-1) and can be used for studying the interaction between the antigen presenting cells and T lymphocytes.
