PD-L2, also known as CD273 or B7-DC, is a member of the B7 family protein with PD-L1, and it is the second important ligand that can bind pD-1 after PD-L1. The human PD-L2(B7-H2, CD273) gene is also located on chromosome 9p24, encoding type I transmembrane protein with 247 amino acids. The homology of PD-L1 and PD-L2 was 40%. The affinity between PD-L2 and PD-1 is 2-6 times that of PD-L1. Compared with PD-L1, the expression of PD-L2 is relatively limited, and pD-L2 is induced to express on the surface of dendritic cells, macrophages, bone marrow derived mast cells and other cells.

Immune checkpoint pathway is a focal point of today’s cancer research. PD-1 is one of the best characterized checkpoint proteins. The binding between PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 suppresses T-cell activation and allows cancer cells to escape from body’s immune surveillance. Therefore, the pharmaceutical inhibition of PD-1 or its ligand has been considered a promising strategy by many oncologists.

Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14(LIGHT) is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily ligand that regulates T cell immune responses by signaling through the herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) and the lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTbetaR). LIGHT has emerged as a potent initiator of T cell co-stimulation signals effecting CTL-mediated tumor rejection, allograft rejection and graft versus host disease. Constitutive expression of LIGHT leads to tissue destruction and autoimmune-like disease syndromes.

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15), also called Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1 (MIC-1). Expression of MIC-1 mRNA in monocytoid cells is up-regulated by a variety of stimuli associated with activation, including interleukin 1β, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 2, and macrophage colony-stimulating factor but not interferon γ, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It is highly expressed in cardiomyocytes, adipocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells in normal and pathological condition. GDF-15 increases during tissue injury and inflammatory states and is associated with cardiometabolic risk. Increased GDF-15 levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertrophy, heart failure, atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and chronic kidney diseases in diabetes. Increased GDF-15 level is linked with the progression and prognosis of the disease condition.

The BAFF:BCMA[Biotinylated] Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed for screening and profiling inhibitors of BAFF:BCMA signaling.The key to this kit is the high sensitivity of detection of biotin-labeled BCMA by streptavidin-HRP. Only a few simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for the assay. First, BAFF is coated on a 96-well plate. Next, BCMA is incubated with BAFF on the plate. Finally, the plate is treated with streptavidin-HRP followed by addition of an HRP substrate to produce chemiluminescence, which can be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.
