Level of CD4+CD39+/CD161+ T cell sub population in muscosal membranes and peripheral blood correlate to severity of Crohns Disease.  “CD39 and CD161 Modulate Th17 Responses in Crohn’s Disease” A Bai, S C Robson, et al. (2014) J Immunol 193(7): 3366-3377. PMID:25172498 Relevant Ancell antibodies and conjugates anti-human CD4 anti-human CD39 anti-human CD161

Human CD326 (EpCAM, EGP2, HEA) is a 40kD glycoprotein expressed on epithelial cells and many carcinomas.  It is an adhesion molecule whose function is implicated in carcinogenesis and erythropoesis. CD326 has great potential as a therapeutic and diagnostic marker for cancer (2, 3). 1) Rao CG, et al. (2005) Int. J. Oncol  27: 49 2)

Using transgenic mouse models and BM transplantation, it was observed that numbers of expanded thymic Treg are proportionate to number of thymic B cells present during autoimmune development. “A Role for Intrathymic B Cells in the Generation of Natural Regulatory T Cells.” Stacey N Walters, Shane Grey, et al. (2014) J Immunol 193(1): 170-176. PMID:24872190

CD273 binds to a distinct site on RGMb (Repulsive Guidance Molecule Family member B) from Bone Morphogenic proteins (BMP).  In mice, blockade of this interaction impaired development of respiratory tolerance. “RGMb is a novel binding partner for PD-L2 and its engagement with PD-L2 promotes respiratory tolerance”  Y Xiao, G J Freeman, et al. (2014) JEM
