Brand: BD Pharmingen™
SKU: 552133

Clone 9H10.CTLA-4.3 (also known as none)

(RUO)

Inhibition of ConA-induced proliferation of splenic T lymphocytes by Non-Cytolytic Mouse CTLA-4 - IgG Fusion Protein. C57BL/6 splenocytes were cultured for three days, either with no stimulation or with 4 µg ConA per 10^6 cells, as indicated. The indicated concentrations of either Non-Cytolytic Mouse CTLA-4 - IgG Fusion Protein or a control fusion protein were added to ConA-stimulated cells. Cell proliferation was quantitated by the MTT fluorometric assay. The CTLA-4 fusion protein inhibited ConA-induced cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, whereas the control fusion protein had little effect.

Antibody Details

9H10.CTLA-4.3

The Non-Cytolytic Mouse CTLA-4 - IgG Fusion Protein is composed of the extracellular domain of mouse CTLA-4 (CD152) fused to a mutant Fc region of mouse IgG2a, which is unable to bind to the C1q complement or to Fc receptors. This chimeric protein binds to CTLA-4's ligands B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86) on mouse antigen-presenting cells and blocks their binding to both CTLA-4 and CD28. CTLA-4 (also known as CD152) is a cell-surface Ig-superfamily glycoprotein closely related to the CD28 costimulatory receptor. CTLA-4 is expressed on activated T lymphocytes 2-3 days after stimulation through the T-cell receptor. Whereas CD28 delivers a costimulatory signal required for T-cell activation, CTLA-4 is a negative regulator of cell-mediated immune responses. CTLA-4 IgG Fusion Protein has been shown to prevent allograft rejection and induce donor-specific tolerance, inhibit in vitro responses of splenocytes to ConA; inhibit the spontaneous in vitro and in vivo lymphoproliferation in CTLA-4-deficient mice; and limit superantigen-induced T-cell proliferation, anergy, and secretion of IL-2, IFN-γ, and IL-4, but not TNF-α or IL-10.

Format Details

Purified

Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
