Description
CD86 Antibody (FITC) LS-C43297. Recognizes human CD86 also known as B7-2, a type I transmembrane protein expressed by monocytes and activated B cells. CD86 acts as a co-stimulatory molecule along with CD80 and is a ligand for CD28 and CTLA-4. CD86 is a member of the Immunoglobulin superfamily and carries an extracellular domain bearing both an domain which contains the CTLA-4 binding site and an adjacent C2-like domain. CD86 plays an important role in co-stimulation of T cell proliferation, IL-2 production and in the primary immune response. Domain depletion epitope mapping studies indicate that the binding site of Mouse anti Human CD86, is located within the Ig-v-like domain of human CD86. Studies suggest that CD86 along with CD80 may be exploited as receptors for adenovirus entry into cells.
