Description
The 4E2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD121b which is also known as the IL-1 receptor type II (IL-1RII, IL-1R2) or IL-1 receptor beta (IL-1R-beta, IL-1Rβ). CD121b is encoded by the Il1r2 gene and presents as a 68 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It is expressed on a variety of cell types including B cells, neutrophils, monocytes, and bone marrow progenitor cells. A soluble form of CD121b is produced by proteolysis especially after cellular activation. Unlike the IL-1 type I receptor (CD121a), CD121b has a short cytoplasmic domain and does not mediate IL-1 signaling. CD121b may function in a membrane or soluble form as a decoy receptor that can bind IL-1 and reduce its effective concentration and biological activity. The 4E2 antibody blocks IL-1 binding to the IL-1 receptor type II.
