Anti-CD86 (Activation B7-2 antigen, Early T-cell costimulatory molecule 1)

CD86 is officially called Cluster of Differentiation 86, also known as B7-2. Being a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, it is a protein expressed on antigen-presenting cells. The CD86 gene is mapped to human chromosome 3q21. The smallest transcript, 828 bp, which the authors termed CD86deltaTM, has a deletion from nucleotide 686 to nucleotide 829 (i.e., exon 6) and encodes a 275-amino acid protein. CD86deltaTM enhances proliferation and cytokine production by both naive and memory T cells, providing costimulatory signals necessary for T cell activation and survival.
