Recombinant Mouse CD86 Antigen

• Cat.No.: Cd86-1706M

Specification

• Cat. No.: Cd86-1706M
• Description: B7-1 and B7-2, together with their receptors CD28 and CTLA-4, constitute one of the dominant costimulatory pathways that regulate T- and B-cell responses. Although both CTLA-4 and CD28 can bind to the same ligands, CTLA-4 binds to B7-1 and B7-2 with a 20 - 100 fold higher affinity than CD28 and is involved in the down-regulation of the immune response. B7-1 is expressed on activated B cells, activated T cells, and macrophages. B7-2 is constitutively expressed on interdigitating dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, peripheral blood dendritic cells, memory B cells, and germinal center B cells. Additionally, B7-2 is expressed at low levels on monocytes and can be up-regulated through interferon γ. B7-1 and B7-2 are both members of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Human B7-2 and B7-1 share 26% amino acid identity. Human and mouse B7-2 share 50% amino acid identity. However, it has been observed that both human and mouse B7-1 and B7-2 can bind to either human or mouse CD28 and CTLA-4, suggesting that there are conserved amino acids which form the B7-1/B7-2/CD28/CTLA-4 critical binding sites.
• Molecular Weight: The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Mouse B7-2 is Mr 51.8 kDa. However, the actual molecular weight as observed by migration on SDS Page is Mr 60-65 kDa.
• Source: Sf 21 Insect Cells.
• State Of Matter: Lyophilized.
• Purity: >95% by SDS Page and analyzed by silver stain.
• Endotoxin: <0.1 ng per 1 µg as determined by the LAL method.
• Storage And Stability: This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20℃ to -70℃. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2℃ to 8℃ for one month or at -20℃ to -70℃ in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. See Product Insert for exact lot specific storage instructions.
