Anti-hPD-L1 FITC conjugated (Clone: ABM5F25)

PD-L1 (CD274/B7-H1) is a critical membrane-bound costimulatory molecule belongs to the B7 superfamily that inhibits immune responses through its receptor, PD-1 and PD-L1 play a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases (programmed death 1). It is widely expressed in the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS), may co-stimulate T cells and regulates inflammatory responses. PD-L1 exerts inflammation regulatory functions via a negative co-stimulatory effect on T cell functions to inhibit cytokine secretion, facilitate apoptosis of activated T cells and induce T cell anergy. Aberrant expression and dysregulation of CD274 have been reported during bacterial infection, inflammation and in numerous autoimmune diseases. Protein function: Involved in the costimulatory signal, essential for T- cell proliferation and production of IL10 and IFNG, in an IL2- dependent and a PDCD1-independent manner. Interaction with PDCD1 inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. [The UniProt Consortium]
