Description: This 26F8 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD317 (also known as BST2 and tetherin). CD317 is a 30-36-kDa type II transmembrane protein expressed on B cells and bone marrow stromal cells. Although reports have indicated that CD317 mRNA is detectable in activated T cells, protein expression in freshly isolated primary T cells and macrophages is undetectable. Moreover, certain T cell lines, such as Jurkat, do not express detectable levels of CD317 protein. However, CD317 expression can be induced in many cell types (e.g., T and B cells, 293T, and HeLa) by IFNalpha treatment. CD317 has been associated with pre-B cell growth and the terminal differentiation of plasma B cells. More recently, this molecule has been reported to prevent HIV-1 virion release from the surface of infected cells, leading to reuptake and degradation of the virus. This activity is inhibited by the HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu. CD317 has been identified as the ligand for the ILT7 receptor.
Applications Reported: This 26F8 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: This 26F8 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.25 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.
Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 519 nm; Laser: Blue Laser.
Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
BST2 (CD317, HM1.24 antigen, DAMP-2, tetherin) is an integral membrane protein that is involved in the development and growth of B-cells. The surface expression of BST2 on fibroblast cell lines facilitated the stromal cell-dependent growth of DW34, a pre-B-cell line. BST2 is highly expressed during B-cell development, from pro-B precursors to plasma cells, T-cells, monocytes, NK cells and DCs (at protein level), and myeloma cells. Research studies have shown that BST2 also functions as an inhibitor of retrovirus release from human cells whose activity is antagonized by the HIV-1 accessory protein, Vpu. While BST2 causes retention of virions on cell surfaces or endocytosis into BST2-positive compartments, its depletion abolished the viral requirement for Vpu for virus release, an activity that may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Another disease associated with BST2 dysfunction is stomatitis.
