Description

CD28 is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the CD28/CTLA4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4, also known as CD152) family of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. CD28 and CTLA-4 are structurally homologous molecules and both contain one Ig-like V-type domain in the extracellular region. CD28 and CTLA4 are expressed on the cell surface as disulfidelinked homodimers or as monomers. Together with their ligands, CD80 and CD86, they constitute one of the dominant co-stimulatory pathways that regulate T and B cell responses. CD28 is expressed in T-cells and plasma cells, but not in less mature B-cells. CD28 is involved in T-cell activation, the induction of cell proliferation and cytokine production and promotion of T-cell survival. CD28 is expressed constitutively on nearly all mouse T cells and surface expression is downregulated upon ligation of CD28. CTLA4 is not constitutively expressed but is upregulated rapidly following T cell activation and CD28 ligation. The binding of CD80 and CD86 to its receptor CD28 induces T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. CD28 ligation has also been shown to regulate Th1/Th2 differentiation. CTLA4 binds to CD80 and CD86 with a 20-100 fold higher affinity than CD28 and is involved in the downregulation of the immune response. The CD80/CD86/CD28/CTLA4 pathway can positively and negatively regulate immune responses. CD28 is thus regarded as a promising therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Recombinant CD28-Fc protein (SKU#FCL0729) was immobilized at 100 ng/well on a 96-well NuncMaxisorp plate for ELISA with serially diluted biotinylated anti-human CD28 monoclonal antibody, human IgG1 (SKU#MAB1827). Biotinyalted anti-CD137 (SKU#MAB1829) human IgG1 was used as a negative control to demonstrate the specificity of CD28 binding under the experimental conditions. The binding curve was fit and apparent K_D was calculated for anti-CD28: CD28 binding to be 32 ± 3 pM.
