LPS-stimulated (3 days) C57BL/6 murine splenocytes are stained with Anti-Mouse CD86 Monoclonal Antibody(PE Conjugated)[Used at 0.2 μg/106 cells dilution](filled gray histogram). Unstained splenocytes (empty black histogram) are used as control.
CD86 is an 80 kD immunoglobulin superfamily member also known as B7-2, B70, and Ly-58. CD86 is expressed on activated B and T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and astrocytes. CD86, along with CD80, is a ligand of CD28 and CD152 (CTLA-4). CD86 is expressed earlier in the immune response than CD80. CD86 has also been shown to be involved in immunoglobulin class-switching and triggering of NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. CD86 binds to CD28 to transduce co-stimulatory signals for T cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production. CD86 can also bind to CD152, also known as CTLA-4, to deliver an inhibitory signal to T cells.
