CD28 Polyclonal Antibody Background :
Human CD28 antigen is a 44 kDa disulfide linked homodimeric T cell specific surface glycoprotein. It is a cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily which is constitutively expressed on most peripheral blood T lymphocytes (approximately 95% of CD4+ cells and 50% of CD8+ cells). Mature thymocytes exhibit higher levels of CD28 than the immature cells. Activation of T cells results in enhanced CD28 expression. T cell activation requires two combined signals provided by antigen presenting cells. The first is mediated via the T cell receptor following its interaction with antigenic peptide MHC complexes, and the second is delivered by accessory or costimulating molecules through their counter receptors on T lymphocytes. CD28 bears structural homology to CTLA 4 which is expressed at very low levels on the surface of CD4+ and CD8+ peripheral blood cells only following activation. CD28 is the natural receptor for the B7/BB 1 ligand (CD80) a 55-60 kDa glycoprotein which is expressed on activated B lymphocytes, on dendritic cells and on interferon gamma treated monocytes. The binding of B7 1/BB 1 molecules to CD28 is involved in T lymphocyte activation and in the initiation and maintenance of chronic inflammation. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
