| Human CD272 (BTLA, B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator) is a member of the Immunoglobulin superfamily and has sequence homology to PD-1 and CTLA4. It is expressed on T and B lymphocytes and other hemopoetic lineages. Engagement of this molecule by its ligand, CD270 (HVEM, a TNF superfamily member) can down regulate activated T and B cell responses. CD272 levels on antigen specific CD8+ T cells have been reported to decrease in viral specific, but not melanoma specific activated lines (1). Polymorphism of the CD272 molecule has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis (3). |

| Catalog # | B5001-61L |
| Applications | Suitable for use in ELISA and Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. |
| Recommended Dilution | Flow Cytometry: 1:50 (10ug/ml) |
| Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. |
| Flow Cytometry Protocol | 1. 5x10e5 ficoll prepared human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) per tube were pelleted and pre incubated 5 minutes with 20ul of human IgG at 300ug/ml, after which they were washed and incubated 45 minutes on ice with 80ul of B5001-61L diluted 1:50 (10ug/ml). |
| 2. Cells were washed three times, fixed and analyzed by FACS using a lymphoid gate. |
| 3. Cells stained positive with a mean shift of 1.15 log10 fluorescent units when compared to a Mouse IgG1/R-PE negative control at a similar concentration. |
| 4. Binding was blocked when cells were pre incubated 10 minutes with 20ul of 0.5mg/ml anti-CD272 antibody (Catalog #B5001-61G). |
| Storage and Stability | May be stored at 4°C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for 12 months at 4°C. Freezing R-Phycoerythrin (PE) conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity. PE conjugates are sensitive to light. |

| Purity | Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.5, 0.2% BSA, 0.04% sodium azide, 15% glycerol. Labeled with R-Phycoerythrin (PE). |
| Immunogen | Recombinant soluble human CD272 |
| Specificity | Recognizes human CD272 (BTLA). Binds to CD272 on the cell surface of human PBMC in Flow cytometry and to recombinant CD272-muIg (B5001-61M) in EIA. Does not block binding of Biotinylated CD270(HVEM)-muIg (H2033-98A) to CD272-muIg in EIA, but appears to enhance this interaction. |
