Description

The eBioC9B7W monoclonal antibody recognizes mouse CD223 (LAG-3, LAG3) protein expressed by activated αβ-TCR bearing T cells, a subset of γδ-TCR bearing T cells and a subset of NK cells. CD223 is a 70 kDa type I transmembrane protein with a structure that is similar to CD4. However, a soluble form of human CD223 has been detected by ELISA in human serum, and data suggest that mouse CD223 is proteolytically cleaved in the D4 domain. This results in a 54 kDa fragment containing all the extracellular domains, and a 16 kDa fragment containing the intracellular and transmembrane domains. The 54 kDa can remain membrane-associated or be released as soluble CD223.

CD223 binds to MHC class II with higher affinity than CD4, and it is thought that this interaction is involved in the negative regulation of T-cell activation and homeostatic proliferation. Furthermore, CD223 is expressed by CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells, and it has been suggested that CD223 may be involved in their regulatory function.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioC9B7W (C9B7W) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, and ELISA. The functional grade eBioC9B7W has been reported for the in vitro and in vivo blocking of CD223 function.

Applications Tested

This eBioC9B7W (C9B7W) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28-activated mouse splenocytes. 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.
