Scientific Data Images for Human B7-H4 Antibody

Detection of human B7-H4 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of human B7‑H4 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of SK-BR-3 human breast cancer cell line and T47D human breast cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human B7-H4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB65764) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF008). A specific band was detected for B7-H4 at approximately 50-80 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of B7-H4 in HEK293 Human Cell Line Transfected with Human B7-H4 and eGFP by Flow Cytometry.

HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with human B7-H4 and eGFP was stained with either (A) Rabbit Anti-Human B7-H4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB65764) or (B) Rabbit IgG control antibody (Catalog # MAB1050) followed by APC-conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0111).

B7-H4 antibody in Human Breast Cancer Tissue by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

B7‑H4 in Human Breast Cancer Tissue.

B7-H4 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human breast cancer tissue using Rabbit Anti-Human B7-H4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB65764) at 3 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Rabbit IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC003). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell surfaces in cancer cells.

Background: B7-H4

B7-H4, also known as VTCN1, B7x and B7S1, is a 50‑80 kDa glycosylated member of the BTN/MOG family of immunomodulatory protein (1, 2). Mature human B7-H4 consists of a 235 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with one Ig-like V-set domain and one Ig-like C2-set domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 2 aa cytoplasmic tail (3-5). Within the ECD, human B7-H4 shares 90% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat B7-H4. It shares 22%-28% aa sequence identity with human B7-1, B7-2, B7-H1, B7-H2, B7-H3, and PD‑L2. Alternate splicing of human B7-H4 generates an additional isoform that lacks the first Ig-like domain. B7-H4 is expressed on the surface of activated lymphocytes, macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, epithelial cells, and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (4-8). Following binding to activated T cells, B7-H4 serves as a co‑inhibitor of the T cell response. This is accomplished by reverse signaling that can induce either cell cycle arrest, or apoptosis in B7-H4 expressing cells (3-5, 9, 10). B7‑H4 is up‑regulated in several carcinomas in correlation with tumor progression and metastasis (2, 7, 11, 12). A soluble form of B7-H4 is elevated in the serum of ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and rheumatoid arthritis patients, also in correlation with advanced disease status (13-15). Soluble B7‑H4 functions as a decoy molecule that blocks the inhibitory influence of B7‑H4 on immune activation (15). Despite evidence for the involvement of B7-H4 in immune regulation, mice deficient in its expression do not show significant immune deficiencies, suggesting compensation by other molecules in vivo (16).
