    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human integrin β8 protein.

    Background

    Integrin αvβ8 facilitates activation and release of TGF-β, which has immunosuppressive effects (1). Deletion of integrin β8 from dendritic cells led to development of inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmunity in mice, as well as failure to induce regulatory T cells that require TGF-β for development (2). TGF-β is also involved in Th17 cell differentiation. Mice lacking expression of integrin β8 on dendritic cells fail to develop Th17 cells and are protected from Th17-mediated autoimmune disease (3). Regulatory T cells express high levels of integrin αvβ8, which enables them to suppress pathogenic T cell activation by activating latent TGF-β (4). Integrin β8 is also essential for vascular morphogenesis as integrin β8-deficient mice are embryonic or perinatal lethal and exhibit insufficient and abnormal vascular morphogenesis (5).
