Flow cytometric analysis of Human CD257 expression on U-937 cells. Cells from the Daudi (Human Burkitt's lymphoma lymphoblast, Left) / U-937 (Human histiocytic lymphoma monocyte, Right) labelling SDT APC Mouse Anti-Human CD257 Antibody at 1.25 μl/test / (Red line histogram) compared with a APC Mouse IgG2a, κ (Black line histogram) isotype control. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using BD FACSymphony™ A1 and FlowJo™ software. Negative control: Daudi

Background
CD257 is a 285-aa type-II transmembrane glycoprotein of the TNF ligand superfamily produced by monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages and activated T cells that can be cleaved to a soluble homotrimeric cytokine which, via engagement of three receptors—BAFF-R, TACI and BCMA—delivers survival and maturation signals to B cells, orchestrates T-cell co-stimulation, and drives class-switching and antibody production through NF-κB and PI3K/AKT pathways, while excess CD257 triggers B-cell hyperplasia and autoantibody formation, linking its overexpression to systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple myeloma, and making CD257 antagonism (e.g., belimumab) a validated therapeutic strategy.
