CD86 is a type I transmembrane protein consisting of an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail . The extracellular domain is responsible for binding to its ligands, CD28 and CTLA-4 . The gene encoding CD86 is located on chromosome 3 in humans . The protein is expressed on the surface of APCs and is upregulated upon activation .
The primary function of CD86 is to provide a costimulatory signal necessary for T cell activation and survival . When an APC presents an antigen to a T cell, the interaction between CD86 and CD28 provides the necessary second signal for T cell activation . This interaction leads to the production of cytokines, which are essential for the proliferation and differentiation of T cells . Conversely, the interaction between CD86 and CTLA-4 serves as an inhibitory signal, helping to regulate the immune response and prevent overactivation .
Recombinant CD86 is produced using various expression systems, including E. coli and HEK293 cells . The recombinant protein is often tagged with a polyhistidine tag to facilitate purification . It is used in various research applications, including studying T cell activation, immune regulation, and developing immunotherapies .
Recombinant CD86 is widely used in immunological research to study the mechanisms of T cell activation and regulation . It is also used in the development of immunotherapies for diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders . By understanding the role of CD86 in the immune response, researchers can develop targeted therapies to modulate the immune system effectively .
