B7­H3 (B7 homolog 3), also known as CD276, is a single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the B7 family of the Ig superfamily. Like other B7 family members, B7-H3 contains one Ig V-like and one Ig C-like domain in the extracellular region. Among the family members, they share about 20-25% amino acid identity. B7-H3 serves as an accessory modulator of T-cell response. It has been reported that B7-H3 can provide both a stimulatory and inhibitory signal to T cells. As a negative regulator, it preferentially affects Th1 responses. B7-H3 may also play an important role in muscle-immune interactions. A longer form of B7-H3 has been identified in human but not in mouse. It is termed 4IgB7­H3 or B7­H3b with two additional Ig­like domains (one V-type and one C-type). B7-H3b appears to be the dominantly expressed form in human and is found on human dendritic cells, activated T, B and NK cells. Human B7­H3b binding to an undefined receptor may inhibit NK cell killing and cytokine release.  It is also involved in late stage osteoblast differentiation. B7-H3 is detected in a variety of cancer types and its expression in some cancers correlates with poor outcome of cancer patients.

Technical Data

 

Recombinant B7-H3-Fc protein (SKU#FCL1198) was immobilized at 50 ng/well on a 96-well NuncMaxisorp plate for ELISA with serially diluted biotinylated anti-B7-H3/CD276 monoclonal antibody, human IgG1 (SKU#MAB1755B). Biotinylated anti-OX40 (SKU#MAB0103B) human IgG1 was used as a control to demonstrate the specificity of B7-H3/CD276 binding under the experimental conditions.  The binding curve was fit and apparent K_D was calculated for anti-B7-H3:B7-H3 binding to be 163 ± 7 pM.
