Verwenden
Anti-CD200 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
CD200 (CD_antigen 200) gene is mapped to human chromosome 3q13.2. The gene encodes a transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD200 is widely expressed in different tissues and cell types such as lymphocytes, kidney glomeruli, neurons and endothelial cells. Its receptor is mainly expressed by myeloid cells (granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages).
Biochem/physiol Actions
CD200 (CD_antigen 200) has an immunosuppressive effect on cells expressing its receptor, CD200R. CD200 is involved in maintaining immune homeostasis. CD200 reduces the immune system′s reaction to vaccines, while inhibition of CD200 expression can enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. The gene is known to be overexpressed in a number of human cancers. CD200 mostly supports tumor growth and invasion, by suppressing anti-tumor immune responses, while it is also known to inhibit melanoma cells from forming tumors or metastasizing into the lung. CD200 is considered as a biomarker in colon cancer and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Deficiency of CD200 results in hyperactivation of macrophages and enhanced immune response to autoimmune disease.
