B7-H3/CD276 Antibody [Unconjugated]

Recombinant Mouse B7‑H3 enhances proliferation in mouse CD3+ T cells in the presence of 100 ng/mL Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3 epsilon Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB484) in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the Resazurin (Catalog # AR002). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse B7‑H3 (2 μg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Mouse B7‑H3 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1397). The ND50 is typically 1.5-7.5 μg/mL.

Western blot shows lysates of MEF mouse embryonic feeder cells, P19 mouse embryonal carcinoma cell line, NIH‑3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line, C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line, and 3T3‑L1 mouse embryonic fibroblast adipose-like cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Mouse B7‑H3 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1397) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for B7‑H3 at approximately 45-55 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background

T cells require a signal induced by the engagement of the T cell receptor and a “co‑stimulatory” signal(s) through distinct T cell surface molecules for optimal T cell expansion and activation. Members of the B7 superfamily of counter-receptors were identified by their ability to interact with co‑stimulatory molecules found on the surface of T cells. Members of the B7 superfamily include B7-1 (CD80), B7-2 (CD86), B7‑H1 (PD-L1), B7-H2 (B7RP-1), B7-H3, and PD-L2 (1). B7-H3 is expressed at very high levels in immature dendritic cells at moderate levels on mature dendritic cells, LPS stimulated immature dendritic cells and LPS stimulated monocytes, and at low levels on resting monocytes. B7-H3 binds to activated T cells via an as-of-yet identified receptor. B7-H3 co-stimulates proliferation of T cells and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma ) production and enhances the induction of cytotoxic T cells. B7-H3 shares 20‑27% amino acid (aa) identity with other B7 family members (2). Murine B7-H3 is a 259 aa protein containing an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain. Mouse and human B7-H3 share 87% aa identity (3).
