Description | T cell activation and immune function are regulated by the innate immune system through positive and negative costimulatory proteins. One such protein, B7-H4 (B7-homolog 4), belongs to the B7 immunoglobulin superfamily of ligand-lymphocyte interacting proteins. Expressed primarily on the membrane of lymphoid cells, B7-H4 is an immuno-inhibitory protein that interacts with receptors on the surface of T lymphocytes, thus mediating cellular and humoral immune responses. Overexpression of the B7-H4 protein is associated with certain malignancies, including ovarian and breast cancer, as its interaction with T cells suppresses tumor-associated immunity. Current research suggests that, similar to Mucin 16 (CA-125), B7-H4 may be a useful biomarker for the early detection of ovarian cancer. |
Immunogen | A recombinant human partial protein was used as the immunogen for this recombinant B7-H4 antibody. |
