• Target description: Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 4 (UniProt: Q8NHJ6; also known as CD85 antigen-like family member K, Immunoglobulin-like transcript 3, ILT-3, Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor 5, LIR-5, Monocyte inhibitory receptor HM18, CD85k, LILRB4) is encoded by the LILRB4 (Gene ID: ILT3, LIR5) gene (Gene ID: 11006) in human. LILRB4 is a single-pass type I membrane protein that serves as a receptor for class I MHC antigens and recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HLA-G alleles. It is involved in the downregulation of the immune response and the development of tolerance, such as towards transplants. It is reported to inhibit receptor-mediated phosphorylation of cellular proteins and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions. LILRB4 expression has been reported in monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, lung, natural killer cells and B-cells and is induced upon contact with CD8+ CD28- alloantigen-specific T suppressor (Ts) cells. LILRB4 is also a tumor-associated antigen that is highly expressed on monocytic AML cells where its expression is more specific and can be used to differentiate monocytic AML (M5) from AML M1-M3. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-21), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 22-259), a transmembrane domain (aa 260-280), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 181-448). It contains three copies of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM) that are involved in modulation of cellular responses and the phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2-containing phosphatases. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
