Description: The monoclonal antibody 2H7CD155 recognizes CD155 also known as the poliovirus receptor. The CD155 protein is a member of the Ig superfamily in which 4 isoforms exist; only the α and δ forms are expressed on the membrane of monocytes and prostate cancer cells and neurectodermal and monocytic tumor cells lines. In addition CD155 is found during mid-gastrulation during embryonic development. CD155 is thought to play a role in adhesion by interaction with the ECM component vitronectin as well as a role in NK killingof tumor cells. CD226 and CD96 are ligands for CD155. Blocking of CD155 is under therapeutic investigation for prevention of variants of poliovirus.
