Anti-SLAMF1 Antibody

The signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule family member 1 (SLAMF1) is a novel receptor on T cells that potentiates T cell expansion in a CD28-independent manner. SLAMF1 is predominantly expressed by hematopoietic tissues. Reports suggest that the extracellular domain of SLAMF1 is the receptor for the measles virus and acts as a co-activator on both T and B cells. It is thought to interact with SH2D1A and with PTPN11 via its cytoplasmic domain. Mutations of the SLAM associated gene may be associated with X-linked lympho-proliferative disease (XLP) .

4 isoforms of SLAMF1 are known to exist; this antibody will is predicted to recognize all 4 isoforms. SLAMF1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other SLAM protein family members.

SLAMF1 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human SLAMF1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 30 - 80 of SLAMF1.

Constitutively expressed on peripheral blood memory T-cells, T-cell clones, immature thymocytes and a proportion of B-cells, and is rapidly induced on naive T-cells after activation (PubMed:7617038) . Activated B-cells express isoform 1, isoform 3 and a cytoplasmic isoform (PubMed:9091591) . Isoform 4 is expressed in B-cells, primary T-cells, dendritic cells and macrophages. Isoform 4 is expressed in tumors of the central nervous system (PubMed:25710480) .

Self-ligand receptor of the signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family. SLAM receptors triggered by homo- or heterotypic cell-cell interactions are modulating the activation and differentiation of a wide variety of immune cells and thus are involved in the regulation and interconnection of both innate and adaptive immune response. Activities are controlled by presence or absence of small cytoplasmic adapter proteins, SH2D1A/SAP and/or SH2D1B/EAT-2. SLAMF1-induced signal- transduction events in T-lymphocytes are different from those in B-cells. Two modes of SLAMF1 signaling seem to exist: one depending on SH2D1A (and perhaps SH2D1B) and another in which protein-tyrosine phosphatase 2C (PTPN11) -dependent signal transduction operates. Initially it has been proposed that association with SH2D1A prevents binding to inhibitory effectors including INPP5D/SHIP1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 (PubMed:11806999) . However, signaling is also regulated by SH2D1A which can simultaneously interact with and recruit FYN which subsequently phosphorylates and activates SLAMF1 (PubMed:12458214) . Mediates IL-2-independent proliferation of activated T-cells during immune responses and induces IFN-gamma production (By similarity) . Downstreaming signaling involves INPP5D, DOK1 and DOK2 leading to inhibited IFN-gamma production in T-cells, and PRKCQ, BCL10 and NFKB1 leading to increased T-cell activation and Th2 cytokine production (By similarity) . Promotes T-cell receptor-induced IL-4 secretion by CD4 (+) cells (By similarity) . Inhibits antigen receptor-mediated production of IFN-gamma, but not IL-2, in CD4 (-) /CD8 (-) T-cells (By similarity) . Required for IL-4 production by germinal centers T follicular helper (T (Fh) ) cells (By similarity) . May inhibit CD40-induced signal transduction in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (PubMed:16317102) . May play a role in allergic responses and may regulate allergen-induced Th2 cytokine and Th1 cytokine secretion (By similarity) . In conjunction with SLAMF6 controls the transition between positive selection and the subsequent expansion and differentiation of the thymocytic natural killer T (NKT) cell lineage. Involved in the peripheral differentiation of indifferent natural killer T (iNKT) cells toward a regulatory NKT2 type (By similarity) . In macrophages involved in down-regulation of IL-12, TNF-alpha and nitric oxide in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (By similarity) . In B-cells activates the ERK signaling pathway independently of SH2D1A but implicating both, SYK and INPP5D, and activates Akt signaling dependent on SYK and SH2D1A (By similarity) . In B-cells also activates p38 MAPK and JNK1 and JNK2 (PubMed:20231852) . In conjunction with CD84/SLAMF5 and SLAMF6 may be a negative regulator of the humoral immune response (By similarity) . Involved in innate immune response against Gram- negative bacteria in macrophages; probably recognizes OmpC and/or OmpF on the bacterial surface, regulates phagosome maturation and recruitment of the PI3K complex II (PI3KC3-C2) leading to accumulation of PdtIns (3) P and NOX2 activity in the phagosomes (PubMed:20818396) .
