Cluster of differentiation 86 (CD86), also known as B7-2, is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 3q13.33. CD86 is a co-stimulatory molecule expressed on various immune cells. The encoded protein belongs to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily.
The rat monoclonal antibody GL-1 reacts with CD86 (B7-2), a 70-80 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein of immunoglobulin supergene family, expressed on professional antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages or activated B lymphocytes.
Immunogen
LPS-activated CBA/Cs mouse splenic B cells
Application
The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis. Suggested working dilution is 2 μg/mL of sample. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cluster of differentiation 86 (CD86) plays a vital role in immune responses. Mutations in the gene leads to the development of pneumonia-induced sepsis by downregulating CD86 gene expression in monocytes. Additionally, genetic variation in the gene increases the risk of susceptibility to colorectal cancer.
