Product details:
Human PD-L2 ELISA Kit (ab231928) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of PD-L2 protein in edta plasma, hep plasma, milk, saliva, serum, urine, and cit plasma. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human PD-L2 with 2.7 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

PD-L2 also known as PDCD1LG2 or B7-DC is a member of the B7 protein family that plays a role in immune system regulation. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 25 kDa. PD-L2 is expressed in antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. Expression is also located in some subsets of T cells and B cells. The PD-L2 can act as a second ligand for the PD-1 receptor which is important in immune checkpoints.
Biological function summary
PD-L2 offers protection to tissues from autoimmunity by regulating T-cell activation and fostering tolerance. By engaging with its receptor PD-1 PD-L2 forms a complex that modulates the immune response to prevent overactivation. This interaction limits the immune system's potential damage to healthy tissues maintaining proper immune function in diverse environments.
Pathways
PD-L2 participates in the immune checkpoint pathways where it works closely with PD-1 to mediate immune responses. PD-L2 forms an important part of the program death-1 (PD-1) pathway which plays a prominent role in downregulating T-cell activity. It relates to proteins such as PD-L1 which also interacts with PD-1 modulating immune tolerance and response to infections or tumors.
PD-L2 involvement has been significant in cancer immunology and autoimmune conditions. Its interaction with PD-1 relates to the suppression of immune responses in tumors contributing to cancer progression. PD-L2's function as an immune checkpoint ligand associates with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis where immune regulation goes awry. Both PD-1 and PD-L2 represent potential targets for therapeutic interventions due to their roles in these conditions.
