Scientific Data
Blocking of PD‑L2/B7‑DC in HEK293 cells transfected with Human PD-L2 and eGFP cells by Flow Cytometry. In a functional flow cytometry test, Recombinant Human PD-1 Fc Chimera Alexa Fluor® 647 Protein (AFR1086) binds to HEK293 cells transfected with Human PD-L2 and eGFP. (A) Binding is completely blocked by 25 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human PD‑L2/B7‑DC Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11351) but not by (B) Mouse IgG1 Isotype Control (Catalog # MAB002). Staining was performed using our Staining Membrane-associated Proteins protocol.

Background: PD-L2/B7-DC
Programmed Death Ligand 2 (PD-L2), also known as B7-DC and butyrophilin-like protein, is a member of the B7 family of proteins that provide signals for regulating T-cell activation and tolerance (1). Mature human PD-L2 consists of a 201 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with one V-like and one C-like Ig domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 32 aa cytoplasmic domain (2, 3). Within the ECD, mouse and human PD-L2 share 72% aa sequence identity. Alternative splicing generates additional isoforms that lack the second Ig-like domain and may be substituted and truncated following the first Ig-like domain (4). PD-L2 is expressed on dendritic cells, subsets of activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and memory B cells that differentiate into plasma cells (3, 5, 6). At inflammatory sites such as rheumatoid arthritis, allergen exposure, and virus infection, PD-L2 is up-regulated on synoviocytes, infiltrating macrophages, dendritic cells, and airway epithelial cells (7-11). PD-L2, along with B7-H1/PD-L1, binds to T cell PD-1 where it promotes IFN-gamma production and CD40 Ligand up-regulation while inhibiting IL-4 production (2, 3, 12, 13). In addition, PD-L2 binds to RGM-B on macrophages and alveolar epithelial cells, supporting respiratory immune tolerance (14). In asthma, PD-L2 suppresses IL-5 and IL-13 production, promotes IL-12 production by dendritic cells, and supports allergen-induced airway hyper-responsiveness and mucus production (9, 11).
