Biotinylated recombinant human CTLA-4- Fc chimera (Cat. No. 786704) (black circles) binds to immobilized recombinant human B7-2/CD86-Fc chimera (Cat. No. 775604). Ultra-LEAF™ purified anti-human CD152 (CTLA-4) (clone W22041G) (purple squares) inhibits the binding in a dose-dependent manner, whereas the Ultra-LEAF™ purified rat IgG2a, κ isotype control (Cat. No. 400544) (gray triangles) does not have effect. This antibody blocks the binding of 0.15 µg/mL biotinylated human CTLA-Fc chimera to 1 µg/mL immobilized recombinant human B7-2/CD86-Fc chimera. ND50 range: 0.07 - 0.5 μg/mL. -
Recombinant human CTLA-4-Fc chimera (Cat. No. 591904) (black circles) inhibits the production of human IL-2 induced by human B7.1 (CD80)-Fc in Jurkat cells. Ultra-LEAF™ purified anti-human CD152 (CTLA-4) (clone W22041G) (purple squares) neutralizes the inhibition effect of recombinant human CTLA-4-Fc chimera (Cat. No. 591904) at 0.1 µg /mL on production of human IL-2 induced by human B7.1 (CD80)-Fc in Jurkat cells in a dose-dependent manner whereas the Ultra-LEAF™ purified rat IgG2a, κ isotype control (gray triangles) (Cat. No. 400544) does not have effect. ND50 range: 0.75 - 4 µg/mL.

Human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) is a member of the IgG superfamily. It encodes a 223 amino acid protein and possesses a single extracellular V domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. CTLA-4 is ~30% homologous with CD28, and both bind to the same ligands (B7.1/CD80 and B7.2/CD86) although CTLA-4 binds with higher affinity than CD28. Parallel recognition of a specific MHC-peptide complex by the T-cell receptor and of CD80 or CD86 by the costimulatory receptor CD28 results in T-cell activation, cytokine production, proliferation, and differentiation. After T cell activation process and upregulation of CTLA-4, co-ligation of the TCR to MHC-peptide complex and CTLA-4 to its ligands results in cell cycle arrest and ends T cell activation. It has been suggested that the negative regulatory mechanism of CTLA-4 is mediated through trans-endocytosis of CD80 and CD86 (capture of ligands from opposing cells). The ligands are removed from the original cell and degraded inside of CTLA-4-expressing cells. As a result, the action of CD28 is impaired. Alternative splice variants of CTLA-4 have been described in mouse and human that have transcripts that skip exon 2 (ligand-binding domain) or exon 3 (transmembrane domain). The ligand independent CTLA-4 is expressed in mice, but not in humans, and soluble CTLA-4 (sCTLA-4) is expressed in mice and humans. CTLA-4 is constitutively expressed by Tregs, and they are an important source of sCTLA-4. It has been suggested that sCTLA-4 potentiates regulatory T cell function. High levels of sCTLA-4 in Tregs have been associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and other autoimmune diseases, such as Grave's disease and myasthenia gravis. Also, CTLA-4 has been linked with proliferation and survival of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. CTLA-4 is a target for therapeutic intervention; in fact, a monoclonal antibody against CTLA-4 (Ipilimumab) has been approved for the treatment of melanoma.

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
