The FITC Anti-Mouse CD272 Antibody (PK18-6) is an essential tool for researchers studying immune responses and cell signaling pathways in mice. This monoclonal antibody, produced by Assay Genie, is highly specific to the CD272 protein, also known as BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator). The antibody is conjugated with FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate), allowing for easy detection and visualization of CD272 expression in various mouse tissues and cell types. It is suitable for use in flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry applications, enabling precise localization and quantification of CD272 in experimental samples.CD272/BTLA is a critical immune checkpoint receptor that modulates T and B cell functions, serving as a key regulator of immune responses.
Research on CD272 has revealed its role in immune tolerance, autoimmunity, and anti-tumor immunity, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions in conditions like cancer and autoimmune diseases.By utilizing the FITC Anti-Mouse CD272 Antibody (PK18-6) from Assay Genie, researchers can further explore the intricate mechanisms of immune regulation mediated by CD272, advancing our understanding of immune modulation and paving the way for novel therapeutic strategies in immunology and oncology.

Background:
CD272, also known as B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA), is an Ig superfamily co-inhitory receptor with structural similarity to programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and CTLA-4. BTLA is expressed on B cells, T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, NKT cells, and NK cells. Engagement of BTLA by its ligand herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) is critical for negatively regulating immune response. The absence of BTLA with HVEM inhibitory interactions leads to increased experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis severity, enhanced rejection of partially mismatched allografts, an increased CD8+ memory T cell population, increased severity of colitis, and reduced effectiveness of T regulatory cells. BTLA plays an important role in the induction of peripheral tolerance of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in vivo. Tolerant T cells have significantly higher expression of BTLA compared with effectors and naïve T cells. BTLA may cooperate with CTLA-4 and PD-1 to control T cell tolerance and autoimmunity. It was reported that BTLA may regulate T cell function by binding to B7-H4, but further studies are needed to confirm. The existence of three distinct BTLA alleles has been reported.
