Background Information


B7-H3, also known as CD276, is a member of the B7 family of immune regulatory molecules that modulate T cell responses. Initially described as a co-stimulatory molecule that enhances T cell activation and interferon-γ production, subsequent studies have shown that B7-H3 can also exert inhibitory effects on immune responses. Its precise function appears to depend on the cellular context and microenvironment, with evidence supporting a predominantly immunosuppressive role in many settings.

Structurally, human B7-H3 is a type I transmembrane protein composed of extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, a transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic tail. In humans, the predominant isoform contains four Ig-like domains (4Ig-B7-H3), generated through exon duplication, whereas a two-domain isoform (2Ig-B7-H3) is more common in other species. The cytoplasmic domain lacks well-defined signaling motifs, suggesting that B7-H3 primarily signals through interactions with receptors on other cells.

The exact receptor (or receptors) for B7-H3 has not been definitively established, which remains a key area of investigation. Several candidates have been proposed, but none have been universally confirmed. Despite this, functional studies demonstrate that B7-H3 can regulate T cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxic activity, as well as influence natural killer (NK) cell function.

In disease, B7-H3 is highly expressed in a wide range of cancers, including prostate, lung, breast, and pediatric solid tumors, and its expression is often associated with poor prognosis, tumor progression, and immune evasion. It is also implicated in non-malignant conditions such as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, although its role in these contexts is less well defined.

Therapeutically, B7-H3 is an attractive target in immuno-oncology. Approaches include monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells designed to target B7-H3-expressing tumor cells. These strategies aim to overcome tumor immune evasion and enhance anti-tumor immunity, and several are currently under clinical investigation.

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.
