Anti-EBI3 Antibody [EBI3/8905] (A314908)

Anti-EBI3 Antibody [EBI3/8905]

Mouse monoclonal [EBI3/8905] antibody to EBI3.

Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3 (Ebi3) is a widely expressed homolog to the interleukin IL-12 p40 subunit protein that forms a heterodimer with either IL-12 p35 or an IL-12 p35 homolog, p28, to create a new cytokine (IL-27). IL-27 is an early product of activated antigen-presenting cells and drives rapid clonal expansion of naive but not memory CD4+ T cells. Interferon-b differentially regulates expression of the IL-12 family members p35, p40, p19 and Ebi3 in activated human dendritic cells. Ebi3 may function to antagonize IL-12 and to inhibit the development of a Th1 immune response. Ebi3 is strongly expressed in Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells, independently of the EBV status of the tumor cells. Research suggests that Ebi3 may be an additional component of the repertoire employed by Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells to inhibit an effective anti-tumor or anti-viral immune response. The human Ebi3 gene maps to chromosome 19p13.3 and encodes a secreted glycoprotein that is expressed in spleen and tonsils, and at high levels in full-term placenta.
