The Quantikine Human B7-H3 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human B7-H3 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human B7-H3 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human B7-H3 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained usin...g the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring human B7-H3.
Store the unopened product at 2 - 8 °C. Do not use past expiration date.

Background
B7-H3 is an immunoglobulin superfamily protein that is expressed by osteoblasts, fibroblasts, ciliated respiratory epithelial cells, anterior pituitary progenitor cells, first trimester extravillous trophoblasts, and multiple tumor cells. It is induced on activated dendritic cells (DC), skeletal muscle myocytes, and monocytes. B7-H3 can both stimulate and inhibit immune cell activation. As a co-stimulator, B7-H3 augments macrophage activation and promotes proliferation and cytokine secretion by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. As a co-inhibitor, tumor cell B7-H3 blocks the cytolytic activity of NK cells, limits cytokine production by activated T cells, and imparts an immunosuppressive phenotype to dendritic cells. B7-H3 can interact with TREML2/TLT-2 to enhance T cell activation including the CD8+ T cell-mediated lysis of tumor cells.
