Function

Cell surface receptor that plays an important role in the immune system, particularly in intercellular adhesion, lymphocyte signaling, cytotoxicity and lymphokine secretion mediated by cytotoxic T-cells and NK cells (PubMed:8673704, PubMed:9712030). Functions as a costimulatory receptor upon recognition of target cells, such as virus-infected or tumor cells. Upon binding to its ligands PVR/CD155 or NECTIN2/CD112 on target cells, promotes the cytotoxic activity of NK cells and CTLs, enhancing their ability to kill these cells (PubMed:26755705, PubMed:31253644, PubMed:30591568). Mechanistically, phosphorylation by Src kinases such as LYN of FYN, enables binding to adapter GRB2, leading to activation of VAV1, PI3K and PLCG1. Promotes also activation of kinases ERK and AKT, as well as calcium fluxes (By similarity).

Notes

Human CD226 Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Human CD226 in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:

  • Sandwich ELISA
  • FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
  • Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
  • Bead-based assays
  • AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
  • DELFIA® immunoassays
  • Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
  • Multiplex

Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:

  • Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
  • Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.

We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.

Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.

Please note:

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.

The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.

We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

Antibody properties:

Capture antibody: recombinant rabbit monoclonal (unconjugated) – 100 µg

Detector antibody: recombinant rabbit monoclonal (unconjugated) - 100 µg

Concentration: ~1 mg/ml

Activity summary

CD226 also known as DNAM-1 (DNAX Accessory Molecule-1) is a transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of various immune cells such as T cells natural killer (NK) cells and some B cells. The protein has a molecular weight of approximately 65 kDa. CD226 is part of the Ig superfamily and plays a role in the adhesion and signaling processes of immune cells. It interacts with its ligands CD112 (PVRL2) and CD155 (PVR) on target cells facilitating immune synapse formation and cytotoxic activity.

Biological function summary

CD226 is involved in immune cell activation and receptor-mediated signaling. It aids the recognition and destruction of target cells by NK cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes through its interaction with ligand-expressing cells. CD226 does not work alone but functions as part of a complex system of co-stimulatory and inhibitory receptors balancing immune responses. Its cooperation with receptors such as CD96 and TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) modulates the activity of immune effector cells.

Pathways

CD226 takes part in immune signaling pathways that regulate cell-mediated cytotoxicity and inflammation. It is an important component of the immune checkpoint axis interacting closely with proteins like CD96 and TIGIT within these pathways. This interaction helps determine the fate of immune responses influencing the progression or resolution of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. CD226 plays a role in the NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathway and the adaptive immune response.

Associated diseases and disorders

CD226 has been linked to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes. Abnormal expression or function of CD226 can influence the pathogenesis of these conditions often through interactions with related proteins like TIGIT impacting immune tolerance and effector cell function. CD226's involvement in regulating immune responses highlights its importance as a potential therapeutic target in managing autoimmune and other immune-related disorders.
