Monoclonal Anti-mouse pDC/IPC/CD317/BST2 (clone 120G8.04)

BST2-Antibody-(120G8.04)-Flow-Cytometry-DDX0390P-100-img0008

Dendritics generated rat monoclonal antibody (mAb) that recognizes mouse plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). The target molecule was found to be BST2 (bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2). This antibody, named 120G8, stains a small subset of CD11c-low spleen cells with high specificity. This population produces high amounts of IFNα upon in vitro viral stimulation. Both ex vivo- and in vitro-derived 120G8+ cells display a phenotype identical with that of mouse pDCs (B220-high Ly6C-high Gr1-low CD11b- CD11c-low). Mice treated with 120G8 mAb are depleted of B220-high Ly6C-high CD11c-low cells and have a much reduced ability to produce IFNα in response to in vivo CpG stimulation. mAb 120G8 stains all and only B220-high Ly6C-high CD11c-low pDC in all lymphoid organs. Immunohistochemical studies performed with this mAb indicate that pDC are
located in the T cell area of spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyer’s patches. Using 120G8 mAb in immunofluorescence studies demonstrates mouse strain- and organ-specific differences in the frequency of pDCs and other DC subsets (Asselin-Paturel C et al, 2003 ; J. Immunol., 172:6466; Blasius AI, 2006, J. Immunol., 177:3260 ; Goubier A et Al, 2008, Immunity, 29:464-475).

Clone: 120G8
Species: rat
Specificity: mouse pDCs/IFN producing cells (IPC) (extracellular domain)
Immunogen: mouse plasmatocytoid DCs (pDCs)
Isotype: IgG1/kappa
Species cross-reactivity: nd
Applications tested: Flow cytometry, in vivo depletion, IHC
Usage recommendation: This monoclonal antibody may be used between at 1-10 µg/ml. For pDCs in vivo depletion in Balb /c mice, mAb 120G8 was used between 50-200 µg /
injection.

Recombinant Antibodies for Immunotherapy Research

At Absolute Antibody we have developed a collection of recombinant engineered antibodies against clinically relevant proteins, including homologues of current therapeutic targets. We can match the antibody species to the host organism and tailor the effector function, similar to how pharmaceutical companies develop human therapeutics.

Antibodies against proteins involved in co-stimulation and other aspects of immune cell regulation are of particular interest to therapeutics developers. Some have already entered the clinic, with more in the development pipeline. However, many aspects of immune cell signalling are still unknown, and researchers require ever more advanced tools to tap into this potential.
At Absolute Antibody, we use recombinant technology to provide superior monoclonal antibody reagents at competitive prices. In particular we can modify antibody species and isotype for greater flexibility in vivo, for example we can readily generate mouse-anti-mouse or rat-anti-rat antibodies.

Why go recombinant?
Because of their recombinant manufacture our antibodies show minimal batch-to-batch variability and have potential for customisation. We can convert any antibody into any format allowing us to offer each specificity in a range of species, isotypes and subtypes. This means our customers may ‘build’ an antibody to best suit their experiment.

  • Choose primary antibody format to suit your secondary reagent
  • Choose antibody species to be compatible with your model organism
  • Choose antibody isotype to investigate your chosen host responses (includes IgM and all IgG subtypes)
  • Choose from a range of custom engineering options such as our Fc Silent format with reduced FcR binding to remove Fc receptor function, or other such formats found in the literature (e.g. IgG1-LALA, IgG1-D265A)
  • Choose one of our listed antibodies, or apply our recombinant technology to your own clone. All our antibody services are royalty-free.

Soluble B7-H1/PD-L1 Levels in Multiple Cancer Subtypes: High Sensitivity Measurement by Immunoassay

rnd-systems-measurement-pd-l1

Although the immune checkpoint protein B7-H1/PD-L1 is a commonly used cancer biomarker, controversy remains over the predictive and prognostic utility of immunohistochemical methods. Download our white paper which shows that we can reliably measure B7-H1/PD-L1 in conditioned media supernates and cell lysates from a number of cancer cell lines.

Data from our white paper indicate that:

  • We can reliably measure B7-H1/PD-L1 in a number of human cancer cell lines
  • Soluble B7-H1/PD-L1 expression levels are coincident with loss of PTEN tumor suppressor or increased activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway

The PD-1 / PD-L1 Pathway

Introduction

The immune system fights off pathogens, but this defensive force can be pathogenic itself when hyperactive, resulting in autoimmune diseases such as lupus and multiple sclerosis. Consequently, the body has developed multiple mechanisms to suppress the immune system when necessary.

One method of immunosuppression is the PD-1 pathway. This pathway is activated in response to the mobilization of the immune system. The receptor PD-1 is expressed on the surface of activated lymphocytes. Similarly, its ligand, PD-L1, is expressed by antigen-presenting cells in response to cytokine signaling. When PD-L1 is bound to PD-1, downstream signaling undoes the phosphorylation events associated with activation, thereby reverting lymphocytes to an inactive state [1, 2].

Immunotherapy: A Promising Treatment for Cancer

Tumor cells take advantage of the PD-1 pathway to evade the immune system [3]. Consequently, many pharmaceutical companies have been developing drugs to inhibit PD-1 and PD-L1. In clinical trials, many patients have shown strong responses to these therapies [4-10]. For these drugs to be most effective, a high number of CD8+ T cells must already be at the tumor site, ready to be mobilized after inhibition of the PD-1 pathway [11].Recent investigations have uncovered promising methods of increasing the efficacy of PD1 inhibitors. One method is combining PD1 inhibitors with other drugs, such as HDAC inhibitors [12] and anti-CTLA4 antibodies [9]. Another method is using biomarkers to predict response to therapy [13,14]. Recent work has also suggested that GSK3 inhibitors can enhance effects of immunotherapy [15].Though these results have been encouraging, several challenges remain, including the mitigation of autoimmune effects and how to overcome drug resistance.

Liver Diseases

Mac-2 binding protein (Mac-2bp), known as 90K, is a highly N-glycosylated, secreted protein, identified as a ligand of Galectin-3. It is considered that through interaction with Galectin-3, Mac-2bp promotes homotypic cell-cell contact or regulates cell adhesion. And it has been reported that Mac-2bp levels in blood have associations with various cancers and chronic hepatic diseases such as NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis).

Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF) is a liver regeneration and growth factor that was isolated and purified from the plasma of the person who suffers fulminant hepatitis. In addition blood and tissue concentrations being assessed during liver injury, increases in concentration in body fluids have been reported in other types of disease besides liver disease (e.g., inflammatory diseases, neoplastic diseases, and fibrosis). HGF is secreted as an inactive single-chain pro-form, and it exerts its physiological activity after processing by HGF activator (HGFA), coagulation factor VIIa, etc., and conversion to activated HGF, a heterodimer. This product is a kit that measures human HGF by the WHO standard.

c-Met, the product of c-met gene has been reported to be the HGF receptor since HGF induces phosphorylation of c-Met by binding specifically to it. It is a heterodimer protein composed of an α-chain that is linked to a β-chain. The β-chain has the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain, the transmembrane domain and the extracellular domain, and it is tied into the α-chain that is the extracellular domain of c-Met. c-Met exists mainly in epidermal cells. It is found in the digestive tract, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, mammary gland, microglia cells, monocytes and macrophages, and more amount in the liver and kidney. It is considered that c-Met tansmits signals resulting from binding to HGF, such as growth, motility and organ formation, in the organs and cells mentioned above. This kit is designed to measure Human c-Met.

α-Klotho (Alpha Klotho) was identified as an extremely down-regulated gene in the genetically-modified mouse of which phenotype is very similar to various symptoms of human aging. The sequences of Alpha Klotho genes have been identified in various species including humans based on the one of mouse. Alpha Klotho protein is a 130 kDa, one-transmembrane protein and its expression is confirmed in the kidneys and the parathyroid glands. In recent years, it has become clear that Alpha Klotho is an important molecule within a living organism regulating the metabolism of mineral such as calcium and phosphorus. It is considered that in Alpha Klotho mouse, early aging-like symptoms are induced by impaired mineral homeostasis caused by decreased expression of Alpha Klotho. Meanwhile, it is reported that the long N-terminal extracellular domain which comprises the major portion of sequence of Alpha Klotho protein is released free into blood by shedding. However, there are many unclear points about functions and changes in concentration of free (soluble) Alpha Klotho protein, so it was required to develop the measurement system of Alpha Klotho.

Galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) attracts a lot of attentions as a critical effector molecule in the pathogenesis and progression of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in recent studies. It has been suggested that several O-link glycans modified regions exist in the heavy chain hinge region of human IgA1 molecule andGd-IgA1 circulates in blood stream of the patients with the pathological condition of IgAN. The measuring system using snail (helix aspersa; HAA) lectin that is extracted from snail has been used in past numerous studies and it was revealed that serum levels of Gd-IgA1 in patients with IgAN is significantly elevated compared with the level of healthy subjects or patients with renal diseases other than IgAN. Thus, the importance and purpose of measuring serum Gd-IgA1 level have been gradually recognized from such studies.

However, since the measuring system used HAA lectin is not suitable for measuring multiple and massive samples in large scale studies due to its instability of glycan-recognizing activity, development of alternative measuring system that can quantitatively measure human Gd-IgA1 in serum with stable and reliable data has been considered as an essential and urgent matter. This IBL ELISA kit using the monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes galactose-deficient hinge sequence of human Gd-IgA1 is a lectin non-dependent measuring system that can quantitatively measure Gd-IgA1 in human serum,which is also suitable for large scale studies because of its stability.

Osteopontin (OPN) is a secretory glycoprotein first isolated from the bone. At present, it is known as a highly acidic calcium-binding phosphorylated protein with sugar chain bonds, that is secreted from diverse cells, including osteoblasts, renal tubular cells, macrophages, activated T lymphocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells. Its molecular weight can vary depending on the sugar chain formation and phosphorylation, and has been reported to range from 44 to 66 kDa. One major characteristic of OPN is that its molecule contains an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) amino acid sequence. This motif is also seen in fibronectin, vitronectin and other extracellular proteins. It is known that OPN binds through this motif to members of the integrin family (e.g., αvβ3) of cell surface receptors. Another unique characteristic of OPN is that it can assume various molecular forms in vivo by undergoing RNA splicing, saccharification, phosphorylation, sulfation, degradation by protease, etc. OPN is considered to coexist with thrombin locally in tissues such as injured tissue, inflamed tissue, vascularized tissue, and tumor tissue. Coexistence with thrombin increases the likelihood of proteolysis, and this process may have an important physiological role. The cleavage of OPN with thrombin causes the hidden sequence of the adhering sites to be exposed. It has been reported that the fragments of OPN produced following cleavage by thrombin react with α9β1 integrin. Furthermore, in view of the finding that OPN has many cell-binding sites and can react with various receptors, interactions between OPN and these cells or receptors may play some unknown roles. This kit can specifically measure the N-terminal OPN fragment (hereinafter called “OPN N-Half”) cleaved by thrombin. OPN molecules without thrombin cleavage, on the other hand, are hardly detected by the kit.
