B7-H7 Monoclonal Antibody (MA57YW), APC, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: This MA57YW monoclonal antibody recognizes human B7-H7 on live and paraformaldehyde-fixed cells. Applications Reported: This MA57YW antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This MA57YW antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of the HDLM2 cell line. This may be used at 5 μL (0.5 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Excitation: 633-647 nm; Emission: 660 nm; Laser: Red Laser

B7-H7 (also known as HHLA2) is a membrane protein with three Ig-like domains (IgV-IgC-IgV), whereas other members of the B7 family generally have only two Ig domains (IgV-IgC). B7-H7 is somewhat more closely related to B7-H3 and B7-H4 and shares 10% to 18% amino acid identity and 23% to 33% similarity to B7 family members. B7-H7 protein is widely expressed in epithelium cells of the gallbladder, breast, kidney, colon, small intestines and placenta. In the immune system, HHLA2 protein is not constitutively expressed on human monocytes/macrophages. B7-H7 is widely expressed in cancers, especially in triple negative breast cancer.
