The Mouse CD86 Monoclonal Antibody (PE/Cyanine5.5 Conjugated, GL-1) is a powerful tool for researchers studying immune responses and cell signaling pathways. This antibody targets CD86, a critical co-stimulatory molecule expressed on antigen-presenting cells, and is conjugated to PE/Cyanine5.5 for fluorescent detection in flow cytometry applications. Through its specific binding to CD86, this monoclonal antibody allows for the identification and analysis of CD86-expressing cells in various experimental settings. CD86 is essential for T cell activation and immune response regulation, making it a key player in adaptive immunity and autoimmune diseases.
The fluorescent conjugation of this antibody enhances its utility in flow cytometry experiments, enabling precise quantification and visualization of CD86 expression levels on cell surfaces.Researchers investigating immune regulation, inflammatory responses, and vaccine development can leverage the Mouse CD86 Monoclonal Antibody (PE/Cyanine5.5 Conjugated, GL-1) to gain valuable insights into the role of CD86 in immune cell interactions and activation processes. With its high specificity and reliable performance, this antibody is a valuable asset for elucidating the complex mechanisms underlying immune function and immune-mediated diseases.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use. We suggest each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results [The recommended concentration is 0.1-1 μg/106 cells in 100 μL volume].

Background:
CD86 is an 80 kD immunoglobulin superfamily member also known as B7-2, B70, and Ly-58. CD86 is expressed on activated B and T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and astrocytes. CD86, along with CD80, is a ligand of CD28 and CD152 (CTLA-4). CD86 is expressed earlier in the immune response than CD80. CD86 has also been shown to be involved in immunoglobulin class-switching and triggering of NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. CD86 binds to CD28 to transduce co-stimulatory signals for T cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production. CD86 can also bind to CD152, also known as CTLA-4, to deliver an inhibitory signal to T cells.
