The MIH18 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD273, the Programmed Death Ligand 2 (PD-L2). PD-L1 and PD-L2 are newly
discovered members of the B7 family that are the ligands for the Programmed Death 1 (PD-1) receptor. They are expressed on immature
dendritic cells and mature dendritic cells. PD-L1 is expressed on antigen-presenting cells, including IFN-g-stimulated monocytes and
activated human and mouse dendritic cells. Monoclonal antibodies that block PD- 1 and PD-L2 on dendritic cells result in enhanced T cell
proliferation and cytokine production. PD-L2, also called B7-DC, is expressed on placental trophoblasts, myocardial endothelium and
medullary thymic epithelial cells. Studies show overlapping functions of PD-L1 and PD-L2 and indicate an important role for the PD-L:PD-1
pathway in regulating T cell responses.
