Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was generated by immunizing KAC mice (KAC mouse is a genetically engineered mouse strain that expresses BAP -Biotin Accepting Peptide, sequence on constant part of kappa chain) subcutaneously with CD155-Fc fusion protein.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Uniprot Accession No.: P15151
Specificity Statement: This antibody binds human CD155 also called the poliovirus receptor (PVR). The binding of this antibody does not block binding of TIGIT to CD155/PVR. This protein mediates NK cell adhesion and triggers NK cell function. It also binds two NK cell receptors CD96 and CD226. CD155 is gaining more interest as a therapeutic target in the field of tumor immunology due to its prominent endogenous and immune functions.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody was used to identify CD155 expression on U-87 MG and U-87 MG PVRhi cell lines using flow cytometry. This antibody was used in the generation of anti-CD155 -saporin and anti-CD155-diphtheria immunotoxins and were tested for its antitumor activity. Cytotoxic effect was determined by ToxiLight kit. The results suggested that the immunotoxins were successful in killing CD155 expressing tumor cells.(WO2019102456).
