Protein Concentration
25µg size is bottled at 0.2mg/mL concentration. 100 µg size is supplied at a lot-specific concentration.
Storage and Handling
Briefly centrifuge the vial upon receipt. An unopened vial can be stored at 4°C for up to 2 weeks, or at -20°C or below for up to six months. The protein may be further diluted to 0.1 mg/mL using 0.22 µm-filtered PBS buffer (pH 7.4). For long-term storage, the diluted stock solution should be aliquoted and stored at ≤ –70°C to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. If additional dilution is required, carrier proteins such as FBS or BSA should be added to maintain protein stability.
Background Information
Programmed death ligand 2 (PD-L2, also known as B7-DC or CD273) is a type I transmembrane protein and a member of the B7 family, containing one V-like and one C-like Ig domain in its extracellular region. It is mainly expressed on antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells, and its expression can be induced by IFN-γ or LPS. PD-L2 serves as a high-affinity ligand for PD-1, a receptor expressed on activated T and B cells, and inhibits T cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production, thus contributing to immune tolerance and evasion, particularly in tumors and autoimmunity. PD-L2 also plays a PD-1–independent role in asthma by regulating airway hyperresponsiveness through IL-12 production and binding to an alternative receptor, RGMb, involved in respiratory immune regulation. Its dual functions in both PD-1–dependent and independent pathways highlight PD-L2 as a critical immunoregulatory molecule and a potential therapeutic target in cancer, autoimmunity, and allergic diseases.
