Description | Anti-VTCN1 Antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Cross reactivity with VTCN1 from other sources has not been determined. T cell immunity plays a critical role in host immune surveillance of tumour cell growth and metastatic spread. VTCN1, also known as B7-H4, is a member of the B7 family of immune regulatory molecules. Expressed primarily on the membrane of lymphoid cells, VTCN1 is an immunoinhibitory protein that interacts with receptors on the surface of T lymphocytes, thus mediating cellular and humoral immune responses. Overexpression of VTCN1 is associated with certain malignancies, including ovarian and breast cancer, which may be a mechanism by which tumour cells suppress T cell immunity and facilitate tumour progression. VTCN1 may thus be a useful biomarker for the early detection of ovarian cancer. |
Immunogen | Anti- VTCN1 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with an 18 amino acid peptide near the internal region of human VTCN1. |
