I did the WB with CD86 AF1340, I saw two bands, one is like 72KDa, and a stronger band locates higher than 100 KDa and lower than 150KDa. Can you tell me which is which?

The expected MW for rat CD86 would be in the 70 KDa range, depending on glycosylation. We are not certian what the higher size band is because CD86 is not a dimer on the cell surface. However, it is possible that the larger band is a non-specific band that can be removed by increasing the stringency of the western blotting (higher NaCl in the blotting buffer, and increasing the number of washes and concentration of tween-20.

Detection of B7‑2/CD86 in Rat Spleen. B7‑2/CD86 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Rat Spleen using Goat Anti-Rat B7‑2/CD86 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1340) at 10 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell surface and cytoplasm in splenocytes.

Background: B7-2/CD86

For optimal T cell expansion and activation, a signal induced by the engagement of the T cell receptor and a “co-stimulatory” signal(s) through distinct T cell surface molecules are required. 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 are type I membrane proteins and include B7-1 (CD80), B7-2 (CD86), B7-H1 (PD-L1), B7-H2 (B7RP-1), B7-H3, and PD-L2 (1). B7-2 is expressed constitutively at low levels on most Antigen Presenting Cells (APC) and is rapidly upregulated upon cell activation (2). T cells express two different receptors (CD28 and CTLA-4) capable of binding both B7-1 and B7-2 (2). B7-2 binds to CD28 with the low affinity but binds to CTLA-4 with intermediate affinity. In contrast, B7-1 binds CD28 with intermediate affinity and CTLA-4 with high affinity. Additionally, these molecules have different kinetics for binding CD28 and CTLA-4 with B7-2 having a higher-binding dissociation kinetics (1). Engagement of CD28 by B7-2 increases T cell proliferation and IL-2, IL-4, and IFN-gamma production, thereby enhancing the immune response (3). In contrast, engagement of CTLA-4 is involved in the down-regulation of the immune response (4). Rat B7-2 cDNA encodes a 313 amino acid (aa) precursor protein containing a an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. Rat and human B7-1 share 54% aa identity.
