Description
The IT2.2 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD86, an ~80 kDa surface receptor also known as B7-2.
Applications Tested
This IT2.2 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5 µL (0.25 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.
Blocking Buffers
When using two or more Super Bright, Brilliant Violet™, Brilliant Ultra Violet™, or other polymer dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (Product # SB-4401) or Brilliant Stain Buffer (Product # 00-4409-75) to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions. Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer or Brilliant Stain Buffer for more information.
Fixation
• Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-8222) (100 µL of cell sample + 100 µL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation.
• Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.
• Our internal testing suggests that Brilliant Violet™ 480 (BV480) is not compatible with methanol-based fixation.

CD86, along with CD80, is a member of the B7 family of costimulatory molecules and plays a crucial role in T cell activation and immune response regulation. CD86 is expressed at low levels on B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells, and its expression is upregulated on B cells through various stimuli, including the BCR complex, CD40, and certain cytokine receptors. As a type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, CD86 serves as a ligand for the T cell surface proteins CD28 and CTLA-4 (CD152). The interaction between CD86 and CD28 provides a costimulatory signal essential for T cell activation during antigen presentation, while binding with CTLA-4 negatively regulates T cell activation, diminishing the immune response. This interaction is critical for T-B cell crosstalk, T cell costimulation, autoantibody production, and Th2-mediated Ig production. The kinetics of CD86 upregulation upon stimulation suggest its significant contribution during the primary phase of an immune response. CD86 and CD80 have distinct roles in T helper cell differentiation, and insufficient co-stimulation involving these molecules can induce tolerance. Alternative splicing of CD86 results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms, with additional variants described but not fully sequenced. Dysfunction in CD86 is associated with diseases such as gallbladder squamous cell carcinoma and myocarditis.
