Description

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4), aslo known as CD152, is a single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the Ig superfamily. It is composed of an IgV-type extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail.  CTLA4 is the founding member of the CD28/CTLA-4 family. Members of the CD28/CTLA-4 family either promote T cell activation (CD28 and ICOS) or inhibit T cell activation (CTLA4 and PD­1).  Both CTLA-4 and CD28 bind to the same B7 family ligands, CD80/B7-1 and CD86/B7-2.  CTLA-4 binds to B7-1 and B7-2 with a 20-100 fold higher affinity than CD28.  The CTLA4 gene is widely expressed with highest levels in lymphoid tissues.  It is detected in activated T-cells where expression levels are 30- to 50-fold less than CD28 on the cell surface following activation. Mutations in CTLA4 gene is associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Graves disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid-associated orbitopathy, and other autoimmune diseases.  Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms of CTLA4, have been characterized. The membrane-bound isoform functions as a homodimer interconnected by a disulfide bond, while the soluble isoform functions as a monomer. The engineered CTLA4-Fc fusion proteins inhibit T-cell-dependent immune responses and are used as immunosuppressive agents by acting as a competitive inhibitor of CD28. Blockade of CTLA4 inhibitory activity with monoclonal antibodies enhances antitumor immunity and has been proven to be an effective approach for cancer immunotherapy. 

 


 

Gene Symbol: CTLA4; CD152; CD; GSE; GRD4; CTLA-4; IDDM12; CELIAC3

 

NCBI Gene ID: 14931

 

Uniprot Entry: P16410

 

Construct Details: Full length human CTLA4 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter +/- an antibiotics selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Cell surface CTLA4 expression can be monitored by anti-CTLA4 antibody (SKU#: MAB1718).

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 672 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
