Overview
This is a polyclonal anti-CD86 antibody raised in Rabbit, with confirmed utility in ELISA. Designed to detect CD86 in Human, supporting researchers in immunology contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant Human T-lymphocyte activation antigen CD86 protein (24-247AA) — determines the epitope region recognized; confirm epitope compatibility with your sample preparation and expected PTMs.
- Host (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary reagents. Mismatched secondaries result in no signal. Consider host species when multiplexing.
- Polyclonal: Recognizes multiple epitopes — robust signal across varied preparations, with inherent lot-to-lot variability. Isotype controls and lot qualification recommended.
- Isotype (IgG): Secondary antibodies and isotype controls must match IgG from Rabbit. Relevant for multiplexing and Protein A/G compatibility.
- Purification (Protein G purification): Reduces non-specific immunoglobulin populations, improving signal-to-noise in quantitative immunoassay formats.
Biological background
CD86 (also known as Activation B7-2 antigen 3, Activation B7-2 antigen, B-lymphocyte activation antigen B7-2 2, B-lymphocyte activation antigen B7-2, B7 2, B7, B7-2, B7.2, B70, B72, B72 antigen, BU63, CD28 antigen ligand 2 2, CD28 antigen ligand 2, Cd28l2, CD28LG2, CD86, CD86 antigen (CD28 antigen ligand 2 B7 2 antigen), CD86 antigen (CD28 antigen ligand 2, B7-2 antigen) 1, 2, CD86 antigen (CD28 antigen ligand 2, B7-2 antigen), CD86 antigen, CD86 molecule, CD86_HUMAN, CLS1, CTLA-4 counter-receptor B7.2 2, CTLA-4 counter-receptor B7.2 2, 3, CTLA-4 counter-receptor B7.2, Early T-cell costimulatory molecule 1, ETC-1, FUN 1, FUN-1, FUN1, LAB72, Ly-58, Ly58, MB7, MB7-2, Membrane glycoprotein, MGC34413, T lymphocyte activation antigen CD86 precursor, T-lymphocyte activation antigen CD86, TS/A-2) is a protein studied in Human systems. Expression levels, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types, tissues, and disease states — factors that influence antibody-based detection outcomes. Researchers are encouraged to consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of CD86 biology relevant to immunology.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Sandwich or indirect ELISA quantifies soluble/secreted target in biological fluids or cell culture supernatants.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Include IgG from Rabbit at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity/isoforms: Polyclonal preparations may cross-react with related proteins or isoforms — validate with siRNA KD, KO lysate, or recombinant protein controls.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix (serum, plasma, lysate, homogenate) may influence performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments before full quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Human; extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.
This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
CD86 is a protein target in Human biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit detects CD86 and is validated for ELISA applications.
This antibody is reported reactive against Human. Immunogen derived from Human. Cross-reactivity with unlisted species should not be assumed — contact us or consult the datasheet for homology data.
Supplier reports performance in ELISA. Dilution optimization, blocking, and appropriate controls are required per format. Contact BioHippo for recommended working concentrations.
This non-conjugated (IgG) antibody requires a secondary anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to HRP, AP, fluorophore, or biotin. Match the secondary to the host (Rabbit) and isotype (IgG).
(1) Isotype control — IgG from Rabbit at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — lysate/cell line expressing CD86; (3) Negative control — siRNA KD or KO sample to confirm specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease for quantitative applications.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
