| Description : |
B7-H1, also called programmed death ligand (PD-L1) is a protein in the B7 family of immune proteins. PD-L1 binds to its receptor, PD-1, found on activated T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells, to modulate activation or inhibition. Engagement of PD-L1 with PD-1 on T cells delivers a signal that inhibits TCR-mediated activation of IL-2 production and T cell proliferation. The mechanism involves inhibition of ZAP-70 phosphorylation and its association with CD247. PD-L1 signaling attenuates PKC-8 activation loop phosphorylation (resulting from TCR signaling), necessary for the activation of transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1 and for the production of IL-2. Upon IFN-γ stimulation, PD-L1 is expressed on T cells, NK cells, macrophages, myeloid DCs, B cells, epithelial cells, and vascular endothelial cells. Type I interferons can also upregulate PD-L1 on murine hepatocytes, monocytes, DCs, and tumor cells. It appears that upregulation of PD-L1 is a mechanism that cancers can employ to evade the host immune system as patients with higher expression levels of PD-L1 had a significantly poorer prognosis. |
| Form : |
This recombinant protein was 0.2 μm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives. |
| Bio-activity : |
The biological activity of Human B7-H1 was determined by its ability to compete with biotin labeled in rhB7-H1 for the binding of rmPD-1/Fc in a functional ELISA. |
| Molecular Mass : |
The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Human B7-H1 is Mr 52 kDa (monomer). However, the actual molecular weight as observed by migration on SDS-PAGE is Mr 70-75 kDa. |
