The mouse monoclonal antibody 24F.10C12 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD273 / PD-L2 (also known as B7-DC), a 25 kDa type I transmembrane protein expressed by dendritic cells, activated monocytes and T cells, heart, first trimester placenta, lung and liver, as well as in Hodgkin´s lymphoma cells and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBL).
Programmed cell death 1 ligand 2,CD273 / PD-L2 (programmed death ligand-1), also known as B7-DC, is a member of the B7 family of regulatory proteins. It costimulates the proliferation of T cells, and mediates IFN gamma production. Ligation of CD273 on dendritic cells enhances dendritic cell activation and T cell responses. When interacting with CD279, it can act as a coinhibitor of the T cell function. CD273 expression is a useful marker to distinguish primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma from other diffuse large B cell lymphomas.,PDCD1LG2, B7DC, Btdc, PDL2, PDCD1L2, bA574F11.2, Butyrophilin, B7-DC,
