Anti-CD226 Antibody[10E5], Fluorescein conjugated

CD226 (DNAM-1) is constitutively expressed on native CD8+ cells and on CD4+ T cells, macrophages and NK cells.This antibody (10E5) was reported to bind about 40% of inactivated CD4+ cells and binds only to differentiated Th1 cells, but not to Th2 or Th0 cells.It is also reported to suppress antigen-specific T cell expansion and EAE (experimental allergic encephalitis) mediated by Th1 cells. Protein function: Involved in intercellular adhesion, lymphocyte signaling, cytotoxicity and lymphokine secretion mediated by cytotoxic T- lymphocyte (CTL) and NK cell. Cell surface receptor for NECTIN2. Upon ligand binding, stimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production, including that of IL2, IL5, IL10, IL13, and IFNG. Competes with PVRIG for NECTIN2-binding. [The UniProt Consortium]
