CD274 Mouse anti-Human, BUV395, Clone: MIH1, BD Optibuild™

Description

PD-L1 and PD-L2 are newly discovered members of the B7 family are the ligands for the program death 1 (PD-1) receptor. They are expressed on immature dendritic cells and mature dendritic cells. PD-L1, also called B7-H1, is expressed on antigen-presenting cells, including IFN- γ-stimulated monocytes, and activated human and murine dendritic cells. Monoclonal antibodies that block PD-L1 and PD-L2 on dendritic cells result in enhanced T cell proliferation and cytokine production. PD-L1 is also expressed on placental trophoblasts, myocardial endothelium, cortical thymic epithelial cells, and on most carcinomas. Studies show overlapping functions of PD-L1 and PD-L2 and indicate an important role for the PD-L:PD-1 pathway in regulating T cell responses.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry. With an Ex Max at 348nm and an Em Max at 395nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter.
