Description

The 24F monoclonal antibody reacts with rat CD86, an ~90 kDa surface receptor, also known as B7-2. CD86 and CD80 are members of the B7 family of costimulatory molecules. CD86 is expressed by germinal center B cells and at low levels on macrophages, dendritic cells and non-lymphoid cells in the thymus. Its expression is upregulated on B cells through a variety of surface stimuli including LPS. In addition to CD80 (B7-1), CD86 is a counter-receptor for the T cell surface molecules CD28 and CD152 (CTLA-4). The interaction of CD86 with its ligands plays a critical role in T-B crosstalk, T cell costimulation, autoantibody production and Th2-mediated Ig production. The kinetics of upregulation of CD86 upon stimulation supports its major contribution during the primary phase of an immune response.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The 24F antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemical staining. It has also been reported in blocking of CD86 in functional studies. (Please use Functional Grade purified 24F, cat. 16-0860, in functional assays.)

Applications Tested

The 24F antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of resting and activated rat splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
