Biotinylated Mouse PD-L2 / B7-DC Protein, His, Avitag™ (MALS verified)

Programmed cell death 1 ligand 2 (PD-L2 or PDCD1 ligand 2) is also known as Butyrophilin B7-DC, CD antigen CD273, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily or BTN/MOG family. The expression of PD-L2 is up-regulated by IFNG/IFN-gamma stimulation in monocytes and induced on dendritic cells grown from peripheral blood mononuclear cells with CSF2 and IL-4. PD-L2 Involved in the costimulatory signal, essential for T-cell proliferation and IFNG production in a PDCD1-independent manner. PD-L2 interaction with PDCD1 inhibits T-cell proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression and cytokine production.
