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.

FAQs

  1. 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.
