Anti-CD273 [B7-DC/PD-L2] (human), clone ANC8D12

Antibody ANC8D12 binds to recombinant CD273 and cell surface CD273 expressed on monocyte derived Dendritic cells (moDC), and blocks binding of recombinant CD279 to CD273 in EIA and FACS. CD273 (B7-DC, PD-L2, Programmed Death Ligand 2) is a 25 kd member of the B7 family and is expressed mainly on a sub set of Dendritic cells. When engaged it has a stimulatory effect on the expressing DC, and delivers a down regulatory signal to cells expressing its counter receptor, CD279(PD-1). The interaction of CD273(B7-DC) and CD274(B7-H1) with their receptor, CD279(PD-1) is an important component of immune regulation.
