CloneID: 108.5
Heavy Chain modification: Fc Silent™
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with soluble BT3.1-Ig fusion protein.
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Chimeric Use Statement: This is a reformatted human IgG1 Fc Silent™ antibody, based on the original human IgG1 format, created for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Available Custom Conjugation Options: AP, HRP, Fluorescein, APC, PE, Biotin Type A, Biotin Type B, Streptavidin, FluoroProbes 647H, Atto488, APC/Cy7, PE/Cy7
Uniprot Accession No.: O00481
Specificity Statement: This antibody binds human CD277 (BTNA3A1). This protein plays an important role in T-cell activation and in the adaptive immune response. It regulates proliferation of activated T-cells and release of IFNG by activated T-cells. It is expressed on surface of T-cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells and macrophages (at protein level). It is highly expressed in heart, pancreas and lung and moderately expressed in placenta, liver and muscle.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody was used as an antagonist antibody to check if BTN3A can specifically enhance Vg9Vd2 TCR-mediated lysis of primary AML blasts using cytotoxic assays. This antibody was reported to significantly and drastically abrogate zoledronate (ZOL)-induced lysis (PMID: 27853633). This antibody can completely abrogate Vγ9Vδ2 T cell mediated lysis of tumors (PMID: 29296524).
