B7-1/CD80 Products

Description

B7-1/CD80 and B7-2/CD86, together with their receptors CD28 and CTLA-4, constitute one of the dominant co-stimulatory pathways that regulate T- and B-cell responses (1). Although both CTLA-4 and CD28 can bind to the same ligands, CTLA-4 binds to B7-1 and B7-2 with a 20-100 fold higher affinity than CD28 and is involved in the down-regulation of the immune response (2-6). Mature human B7-1 consists of a 208 aa extracellular domain (ECD) with two immunoglobulin-like domains, a 21 aa transmembrane domain, and a 25 aa cytoplasmic domain (7). Within the ECD, human B7-1 shares 50% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat
B7-1. Alternative splicing generates a 30 kDa soluble isoform that lacks the transmembrane segment and retains the ability to bind CD28 and CTLA-4 and an isoform that lacks the second Ig-like domain and the transmembrane segment (8). Both human and mouse B7-1 and B7-2 can bind to either human or mouse CD28 and
CTLA-4 (1). B7-1 is expressed on activated B cells, activated T cells, and macrophages. B7-2 is constitutively expressed on interdigitating dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, peripheral blood dendritic cells, memory B cells, and germinal center B cells (2).
