Belatacept  (Synonyms: BMS 224818; LEA 29Y)

Belatacept (BMS 224818) is a selective T-cell costimulation blocker and a costimulator of the CD28-CD80/86 pathway. Belatacept binds to the CD 80/86 ligand and inhibits CD-28-mediated T cell costimulation and IFN-γ production. Belatacept can be used in studies of immunosuppression in organ transplantation^[1][2]. The component ratio of this product is Active ingredient : Excipients = 1:2.4.

Fusion-CTLA4-IGHG1 Fc

Human

CD80/86^[1]

Belatacept (0-5 mg/mL, 1 h) inhibits T-cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner^[2].
Belatacept (500 ng/mL, 7 days) enhances predominance of effector-memory T-cells after allogeneic stimulation^[2].
Belatacept (100, 500 ng/mL, 7 days) has no effect on differentiation and allogeneic IFNγ production of isolated effector-memory T cells^[2].
Belatacept (10 μg/mL, 1 h) does not inhibit follicular T Cell-dependent B-Cell differentiation^[4].
Belatacept (40 μg/mL, 10 days) reduces plasmablast differentiation, Ig production, and the major transcription factor Blimp-1 in a T cell-independent manner^[5].
Belatacept (40 μg/mL, 30 min) induces activation of the STAT3 transcription factor in stimulated B cells and reduced the expression of CD86^[5].

Belatacept (intraperitoneal injection, 60 mg/kg) inhibits ABMR (Antibody-Mediated Rejection), and inhibits acute rejection when combined with BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator) overexpression therapy^[3].
Belatacept (intravenous injection, 20 mg/kg) displays immunosuppressive activities in monkeys immunized with sheep red blood cell^[6].
