Background Information


Human :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, also known as B7-1, is a key co-stimulatory molecule expressed primarily on professional antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages. It plays a central role in regulating T cell activation by providing the “second signal” required for full immune activation, complementing T cell receptor (TCR) recognition of antigen.

Structurally, CD80 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It consists of two extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains (one V-like and one C-like), a transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic tail. CD80 can form homodimers on the cell surface, which may enhance its binding avidity and functional activity during immune synapse formation.

Functionally, CD80 interacts with two primary ligands on T cells: :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} and :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}. Binding to CD28 delivers a co-stimulatory signal that promotes T cell proliferation, cytokine production, and survival. In contrast, engagement with CTLA-4 transmits inhibitory signals that suppress T cell responses and maintain immune homeostasis. Thus, CD80 is a critical regulator balancing immune activation and inhibition.

In disease, dysregulation of CD80 expression or signaling is implicated in autoimmunity, chronic infections, and cancer. Overactivation of CD80-CD28 signaling can contribute to autoimmune disorders, while tumors may exploit the CD80–CTLA-4 pathway to suppress anti-tumor immunity.

Therapeutically, CD80 is indirectly targeted in immunotherapy. Agents such as :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} block CTLA-4, enhancing CD80/CD28-mediated T cell activation. Additionally, engineered cells expressing CD80 are being explored to boost immune responses in cancer and vaccine strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I determine the optimal antibody concentration/titer for my experiment?
We recommend titrating each new antibody lot on your own cell type and instrument, since optimal concentration depends on cell density, target expression level, and cytometer sensitivity. Suggested starting dilutions or test sizes (e.g., µg or µl per 10^6 cells) are provided on the product page as a starting reference point, not a fixed requirement.

Can these antibodies be used for intracellular or intranuclear staining, or only surface staining?
Intended use (surface, intracellular, or both) is specified per product, indicated under Application. The appropriate Related Protocol is linked for each product. If you need to detect both surface and intracellular markers in the same panel, confirm each antibody's compatibility with your fixation/permeabilization protocol before combining them.

What controls should I use alongside these antibodies?
Matched isotype controls (same host species, isotype, and conjugate) are available for most clones to help distinguish specific binding from background/non-specific staining and are linked on each product page. Unstained, single-color compensation, and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls are also recommended, especially for multicolor panel design.

Can I combine InnoCyto Flow Cytometry antibodies into a multicolor panel?
Yes — antibodies across our catalog are designed to be panel-compatible, and conjugate options are offered specifically to support multiplexing. When building a panel, pair bright fluorophores with low-expression targets, avoid excessive spectral overlap, and confirm compensation is set up correctly for your specific fluorochrome combination. Use our Panel Builder to simplify the process.
