Scientific Data Images for Mouse B7-H2 Antibody

ICOS binding to Mouse B7-H2-transfected HEK293 Human Cell Line is Blocked by Mouse B7-H2 Antibody.

ICOS binding to Mouse B7-H2-transfected HEK293 Human Cell Line is Blocked by Mouse B7-H2 Antibody.

In a functional flow cytometry test, Recombinant Mouse ICOS Fc Chimera (Catalog # 168-CS, 500 ng/mL) binds to HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with recombinant mouse B7-H2 (black dotted line). Binding is completely blocked (orange histogram) by 0.5 µg/mL of Rat Anti-Mouse B7-H2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB10083). Rat IgG2A Isotype Control (Catalog # MAB006) at 0.5 µg/mL was used as a control (blue line). Ligand binding was detected by staining cells with Mouse Anti-Human IgG Fc APC-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB110A).

Detection of Mouse B7-H2 in HEK293 Human Cell Line Transfected with Mouse B7-H2 and eGFP by Flow Cytometry.

HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with (A) mouse B7-H2 or (B) irrelevant transfectants and eGFP was stained with Rat Anti-Mouse B7-H2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB10083) followed by APC-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0113). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (Catalog # MAB006). View our protocol for Staining Membrane-associated Proteins.
IL-4 Secretion Induced by B7-H2 and Neutralization by Mouse B7-H2 Antibody.

IL-4 Secretion Induced by B7-H2 and Neutralization by Mouse B7-H2 Antibody.

Recombinant Mouse B7-H2 (Catalog # 8127-B7) induces IL-4 secretion in the D10.G4.1 mouse helper T cell line in the presence of Rat Anti-Mouse CD3 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB4841) in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the Mouse IL-4 Quantikine ELISA Kit (Catalog # M4000B). Under these conditions, IL-4 secretion elicited by B7-H2 (2.5 µg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Rat Anti-Mouse B7-H2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB10083). The ND50 is typically 0.3-1.8 µg/mL.

Applications for Mouse B7-H2 Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

Blockade of Receptor-ligand Interaction

0.5 µg/106 cells
Sample: In a functional flow cytometry test, 0.5 μg/mL of Rat Anti-Mouse B7-H2 Antibody(Catalog # MAB10083) will block the binding of 500 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse ICOS Fc Chimera (Catalog # 168-CS) to HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with recombinant mouse B7-H2.

CyTOF-ready

Ready to be labeled using established conjugation methods. No BSA or other carrier proteins that could interfere with conjugation.

Flow Cytometry

0.25 µg/106 cells
Sample: HEK293 Human Cell Line Transfected with Mouse B7-H2 and eGFP

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize B7-H2-induced IL-4 secretion in the D10.G4.1 mouse helper T cell line. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.3-1.8 μg/mL in the presence of 2.5 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse B7-H2 and Rat Anti-Mouse CD3 Monoclonal Antibody.

Background: B7-H2

B7-H2, also called B7RP-1 and ICOSL, is a 60 kDa member of the B7 family of immune costimulatory proteins. It is expressed on resting B cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, alveolar epithelial cells, and placental trophoblasts. B7-H2 interactions with ICOS promote lymphocyte differentiation and activation. Within the ECD, mouse B7-H2 shares 49% and 70% aa sequence identity with human and rat B7-H2, respectively.
