Flow cytometric analysis of B7-H4 expression on SK-BR-3 cells. Cells from the SK-BR-3 (Human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell, Right) or HeLa (Human cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial cell, Left) was stained with either APC Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Black line histogram) or SDT APC Mouse Anti-Human B7-H4 Antibody (Red line histogram) at 1.25 μl/test, cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue line histogram) was used as unlabelled control. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using BD FACSymphony™ A1 and FlowJo™ software.

Background
B7-H4, also known as VTCN1 or B7x, is a ~50 kDa type-I trans-membrane glycoprotein of the B7 immunoglobulin superfamily that consists of an extracellular IgV-IgC domain pair, a single trans-membrane segment and a short cytoplasmic tail; it is expressed inducibly on antigen-presenting cells and constitutively on many epithelial cancers, where it acts as an immune-checkpoint ligand by binding an as-yet-unidentified receptor on activated CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, thereby arresting the cell cycle in G0/G1, suppressing IL-2 production and proliferation, and enabling tumours to evade immunity, making it an emerging target for cancer immunotherapy.
