SLAMF1 Antibody (Pab) 21.10.2014SLAMF1 antibody (pAb) Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 1 (CD150, CDw150, IPO -3, SLAM) Instruction Manual Catalog Number PK-AB718-6247 Synonyms SLAMF1 Antibody: Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 1, CD150, CDw150, IPO-3, SLAM Description The signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule family member 1 (SLAMF1) is a novel receptor on T cells that potentiates T cell expansion in a CD28-independent manner. SLAMF1 is predominantly expressed by hematopoietic tissues. Reports suggest that the extracellular domain of SLAMF1 is the receptor for the measles virus and acts as a co-activator on both T and B cells. It is thought to interact with SH2D1A and with PTPN11 via its cytoplasmic domain. Mutations of the SLAM associated gene may be associated with X-linked lympho-proliferative disease (XLP). Quantity 100 µg Source / Host Rabbit Immunogen SLAMF1 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human SLAMF1. Purification Method Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column. Clone / IgG Subtype Polyclonal antibody Species Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat Specificity Two isoforms of SLAMF1 are known to exist; this antibody will recognize both isoforms. SLAMF1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other SLAM protein family members. Formulation Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. Reconstitution During shipment, small volumes of antibody will occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial. For products with volumes of 200 μl or less, we recommend gently tapping the vial on a hard surface or briefly centrifuging the vial in a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container’s cap. Storage & Stability Antibody can be stored at 4ºC for three months and at -20°C for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures. Applications E, WB, IHC, IF |Note: Antibody might be suitable for other applications not tested so far.

  • Pro-Inflammatory Tnfα and IL-1Β Differentially Regulate the Inflammatory Phenotype of Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells Simon J
    O’Carroll et al. Journal of Neuroinflammation (2015) 12:131 JOURNAL OF DOI 10.1186/s12974-015-0346-0 NEUROINFLAMMATION RESEARCH Open Access Pro-inflammatory TNFα and IL-1β differentially regulate the inflammatory phenotype of brain microvascular endothelial cells Simon J. O’Carroll1,2, Dan Ting Kho1,3, Rachael Wiltshire1, Vicky Nelson1,3, Odunayo Rotimi1,2, Rebecca Johnson1,3, Catherine E. Angel4 and E. Scott Graham1,3* Abstract Background: The vasculature of the brain is composed of endothelial cells, pericytes and astrocytic processes. The endothelial cells are the critical interface between the blood and the CNS parenchyma and are a critical component of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). These cells are innately programmed to respond to a myriad of inflammatory cytokines or other danger signals. IL-1β and TNFα are well recognised pro-inflammatory mediators, and here, we provide compelling evidence that they regulate the function and immune response profile of human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMVECs) differentially. Methods: We used xCELLigence biosensor technology, which revealed global differences in the endothelial response between IL-1β and TNFα. xCELLigence is a label-free impedance-based biosensor, which is ideal for acute or long-term comparison of drug effects on cell behaviour. In addition, flow cytometry and multiplex cytokine arrays were used to show differences in the inflammatory responses from the endothelial cells. Results: Extensive cytokine-secretion profiling and cell-surface immune phenotyping confirmed that the immune response of the hCMVEC to IL-1β was different to that of TNFα. Interestingly, of the 38 cytokines, chemokines and growth factors measured by cytometric bead array, the endothelial cells secreted only 13.

  • SLAM Family Receptor Signaling in Viral Infections: HIV and Beyond
    Review SLAM Family Receptor Signaling in Viral Infections: HIV and Beyond Patrick O’Connell 1 , Andrea Amalfitano 1,2 and Yasser A. Aldhamen 1,* 1 Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, College of Osteopathic Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA; [email protected] (P.O.), amalfi[email protected] (A.A.) 2 Department of Pediatrics, College of Osteopathic Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 October 2019; Accepted: 13 November 2019; Published: 16 November 2019 Abstract: The signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family of receptors are expressed on the majority of immune cells. These receptors often serve as self-ligands, and play important roles in cellular communication and adhesion, thus modulating immune responses. SLAM family receptor signaling is differentially regulated in various immune cell types, with responses generally being determined by the presence or absence of two SLAM family adaptor proteins—Ewing’s sarcoma-associated transcript 2 (EAT-2) and SLAM-associated adaptor protein (SAP). In addition to serving as direct regulators of the immune system, certain SLAM family members have also been identified as direct targets for specific microbes and viruses. Here, we will discuss the known roles for these receptors in the setting of viral infection, with special emphasis placed on HIV infection. Because HIV causes such complex dysregulation of the immune system, studies of the roles for SLAM family receptors in this context are particularly exciting. Keywords: HIV; SLAM; SAP; EAT-2; SLAMF7; SLAMF6; innate immunity; adaptive immunity; immune-modulation 1. The SLAM Family of Receptors The signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family of receptors are a set of nine conserved cell-surface glycoproteins present on the cell surface of immune cells (Table1).

  • Identification of a Novel Nonsense Mutation in SH2D1A in a Patient with X-Linked Lymphoproliferative Syndrome Type 1
    Lyu et al. BMC Medical Genetics (2018) 19:60 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12881-018-0576-y CASEREPORT Open Access Identification of a novel nonsense mutation in SH2D1A in a patient with X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome type 1: a case report Xiaodong Lyu1, Zhen Guo1, Yangwei Li1, Ruihua Fan1 and Yongping Song2* Abstract Background: X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome type 1 (XLP1) is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder with a strong resemblance to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Causative mutations for XLP1 have been identified in SH2D1A, located on chromosome Xq25. Case presentation: We report a case of an 18-month-old male with a novel nonsense mutation in SH2D1A. The patient presented the typical phenotype of HLH, including splenomegaly and hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow. Thus, he was initially diagnosed with HLH based on HLH-2004 guidelines. High-throughput amplicon sequencing was performed to detect mutations in the most commonly reported causative genes of HLH, i.e., PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, STXBP2, SH2D1A, and XIAP. A likely pathogenic nonsense mutation was detected in SH2D1A (NM_ 002351.4:c.300T>A). The mutation was inherited from the patient’s mother, and an X-linked recessive mode of inheritance was confirmed by a two-generation pedigree analysis based on Sanger sequencing results. Conclusions: The nonsense mutation in SH2D1A (NM_002351.4:c.300T>A) was reported for the first time in a case of XLP1 and was considered to be likely pathogenic based on the truncation of the mRNA sequence. This finding expands the spectrum of known XLP-related mutations in Chinese patients and indicates the utility of amplicon sequencing for XLP and HLH diagnosis.

Shabalina 2,* 1 Sendai Viralytics LLC, 23 Nylander Way, Acton, MA 01720, USA 2 National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20894, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (O.V.M.); [email protected] (S.A.S.) Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 1 December 2020; Published: 5 December 2020 Simple Summary: Some non-pathogenic viruses that do not cause serious illness in humans can efficiently target and kill cancer cells and may be considered candidates for cancer treatment with virotherapy. However, many cancer cells are protected from viruses. An important goal of personalized cancer treatment is to identify viruses that can kill a certain type of cancer cells. To this end, researchers investigate expression patterns of cell entry receptors, which viruses use to bind to and enter host cells. We summarized and analyzed the receptor expression patterns of two paramyxoviruses: The non-pathogenic measles and the Sendai viruses. The receptors for these viruses are different and can be proteins or lipids with attached carbohydrates. This review discusses the prospects for using these paramyxovirus receptors as biomarkers for successful personalized virotherapy for certain types of cancer. Abstract: The effectiveness of oncolytic virotherapy in cancer treatment depends on several factors, including successful virus delivery to the tumor, ability of the virus to enter the target malignant cell, virus replication, and the release of progeny virions from infected cells. The multi-stage process is influenced by the efficiency with which the virus enters host cells via specific receptors.

ABSTRACT The heterogeneity of colon cancer tumors suggests that therapeutics targeting specific molecules may be effective in only a few patients. It is therefore necessary to explore gene mutations in colon cancer. In this study, we obtained colon cancer samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas, and the International Cancer Genome Consortium. We evaluated the landscape of somatic mutations in colon cancer and found that KRAS mutations, particularly rs121913529, were frequent and had prognostic value. Using ESTIMATE analysis, we observed that the KRAS-mutated group had higher tumor purity, lower immune score, and lower stromal score than the wild- type group. Through single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, we found that KRAS mutations negatively correlated with enrichment levels of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, inflammation, and cytolytic activities.
