Description: The 122 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse 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. The mouse B7-DC has a short cytoplasmic tail (4aa). B7-DC is primarily expressed by subpopulations of dendritic cells and monocytes/macrophages in the mouse. 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. 122 has been demonstrated to block binding of TY25 (Cat. No.14-5986), another mAb specific for mouse B7-DC.
Applications Reported: 122 has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: The 122 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse dendritic cells or mouse B7-DC transfected cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser.
Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
Involved in the costimulatory signal, essential for T-cell proliferation and IFNG production in a PDCD1-independent manner. Interaction with PDCD1 inhibits T-cell proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression and cytokine production. [UniProt]
