BD, 337181, PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse Anti-Human CD28 L293

The CD28 antibody, clone L293, is derived from hybridization of Sp2/0-Ag14 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with the HPB-ALL T-cell line.The CD28 antigen, a disulfide-linked homodimeric glycoprotein, Mr 44 kilodaltons (kd), is a cell-adhesion molecule (CAM) and functions as the ligand for CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) antigens, which are present on activated B lymphocytes, monocytes, and dendritic cells. Interaction of the CD28 antigen with CD80 or CD86 antigens, or both, co-stimulates CD2 and CD3 antigen/T-cell antigen receptor (TCR)–dependent T-cell–mediated proliferation and cytotoxicity.
