The B7 family of proteins are structurally related, cell membrane-associated molecules that regulate immune responses by delivering costimulatory or coinhibitory signals via their ligands. So far, eight family members have been identified, including B7.1, B7.2, B7-H1, B7-H2, B7-H4, B7-H6, PD-L1, and PD-L2. These proteins are mainly expressed by activated antigen presenting cells (APCs) and when paired with either CD28 or CTLA-4 on a T lymphocyte, they induce an increase or decrease in the downstream signaling activity of the MHC-TCR interaction between APCs and T cells. B7.1 has been shown to bind both CTLA-4 and CD28; however, it has a 20-fold higher affinity to CTLA-4 than to CD28. Despite their structural similarities, the individual contribution of B7.1 and B7.2 to the development of pathogenic T cells in autoimmune diseases and protective T cells in infectious diseases is markedly distinct. Besides regulating T cell immune responses, B7 also plays a role in anti-tumor immunity. This is confirmed by demostrating that cytotoxic T cells were able to eradicate tumor cells transfected with B7.1 and B7.2. After activation, follicular lymphoma was shown to upregulate B7.1 and other costimulatory and adhesion molecules, therefore increasing APC activity and amplifying primed T cell responses. Homozygous null B7.1/B7.2 mice fail to generate antigen specific IgG1 and IgG2a responses, suggesting that B7 proteins are important in Ig immune responses. Mouse and human B7.1 share 44% amino acid identity.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
