Background Information


Mouse CD80 (also known as B7-1) is a co-stimulatory molecule expressed primarily on professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including dendritic cells, macrophages, and activated B cells. It plays a critical role in initiating and regulating adaptive immune responses by delivering a necessary second signal to T cells during antigen presentation. CD80 expression is upregulated upon immune activation, ensuring that T cell responses are tightly controlled and occur only in the appropriate inflammatory context.

Structurally, CD80 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It contains two extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains (IgV and IgC), a single transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic tail without intrinsic signaling motifs. Despite lacking enzymatic activity, CD80 can influence intracellular signaling indirectly through membrane organization and interactions with other surface proteins on APCs.

The primary ligands for CD80 are CD28 and CTLA-4 (CD152), both expressed on T cells. Binding to CD28 provides a positive co-stimulatory signal that enhances T cell proliferation, cytokine production, and survival. In contrast, interaction with CTLA-4 delivers inhibitory signals that attenuate T cell activation and promote immune tolerance, establishing a balance between activation and suppression.

CD80 is implicated in autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection, and chronic inflammatory conditions when dysregulated. Overexpression can lead to excessive immune activation, while insufficient signaling may impair immune defense.

Therapeutically, CD80 is targeted by agents such as CTLA-4-Ig fusion proteins (e.g., abatacept) that block co-stimulation, providing benefit in autoimmune diseases. Modulating CD80 interactions also plays a key role in cancer immunotherapy and strategies aimed at inducing immune tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I determine the optimal antibody concentration/titer for my experiment?
We recommend titrating each new antibody lot on your own cell type and instrument, since optimal concentration depends on cell density, target expression level, and cytometer sensitivity. Suggested starting dilutions or test sizes (e.g., µg or µl per 10^6 cells) are provided on the product page as a starting reference point, not a fixed requirement.

Can these antibodies be used for intracellular or intranuclear staining, or only surface staining?
Intended use (surface, intracellular, or both) is specified per product, indicated under Application. The appropriate Related Protocol is linked for each product. If you need to detect both surface and intracellular markers in the same panel, confirm each antibody's compatibility with your fixation/permeabilization protocol before combining them.

What controls should I use alongside these antibodies?
Matched isotype controls (same host species, isotype, and conjugate) are available for most clones to help distinguish specific binding from background/non-specific staining and are linked on each product page. Unstained, single-color compensation, and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls are also recommended, especially for multicolor panel design.

Can I combine InnoCyto Flow Cytometry antibodies into a multicolor panel?
Yes — antibodies across our catalog are designed to be panel-compatible, and conjugate options are offered specifically to support multiplexing. When building a panel, pair bright fluorophores with low-expression targets, avoid excessive spectral overlap, and confirm compensation is set up correctly for your specific fluorochrome combination. Use our Panel Builder to simplify the process.
