Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human B7 DC recombinant protein (Position: L20-T220). Human B7 DC shares 72.1% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse B7 DC. (reported region: L20-T220).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 37 kDa; calculated MW: 30957 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Programmed cell death 1 ligand 2; Programmed cell death 1 ligand 2. Programmed cell death 1 ligand 2 (also known as PD-L2, B7-DC) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PDCD1LG2 gene. It is mapped to chromosome 9p24.2. PD-L2 is one of two ligands for programmed death-1 (PD-1), a member of the CD28 family of immuno-receptors. Northern blot analysis detect wide expression of PDL2, with highest levels in placenta, heart, pancreas, lung, and liver, and lower levels in spleen, lymph nodes, and thymus. PDL2 negatively regulates T cells and plays an essential role in immune tolerance. Functional note: 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 (By similarity). . Reported localization: Isoform 3: Secreted . Expression/tissue context: Highly expressed in heart, placenta, pancreas, lung and liver and weakly expressed in spleen, lymph nodes and thymus. .
