Basic Information | |
Specificity | OX-48 binds specifically to CD86 targets which are present on subsets of T and B blasts, spleen macrophages and polymorphs, peritoneal macrophages, dendritic cells. OX48 does not appear to bind the same epitope of CD86 as 24F (Stephens et al. 2004). CD86 is expressed at high levels on resting peripheral monocytes and dendritic cells and at very low density on resting B and T lymphocytes - expression is rapidly upregulated by B cell specific stimuli. CD86 acts as a ligand for CD28 and CTLA-4. CD86 works in tandem with CD80 to prime T cells. 2 splice isoforms exist. |
Alternative Name | B72; B-72; OX48; MRC OX-48; MRC OX48 |
UniProt | Q62810 |
Immunogen | OX-48 was prepared by immunizing mice with activated rat T cell blasts |
Application Notes | OX-48 blocks IL-2 production and proliferation of T cells (except when in exponential phase) (Samoza et al. 1990). The antibody can also be used for FC (Stephens et al. 2004), FACS and IPs. Ox- 48 has been shown to be able to block binding of CD86 with its ligand CD28. |

Note on publication | Describes the use of Ox-48 among other anitbodies to identify new markers for activated T-cells, which might have expression related to theactive Vs quiescient state or may be involved in specific T-cell functions. |
