This antibody recognises murine CD27, as confirmed by flow-cytometry and immunoprecipitation analysis (Sakanishi & Yagita, 2010), a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The interaction between CD27 and its ligand CD70, which is recognised by anti-CD70 antibody TAN 1-7 (Ab00816), is crucial to regulation of the survival and differentiation of T cells, B cells and NK cells. As a result, RM27-3E5 modulates multiple immune cell types. The original rat IgG2a version of RM27-3E5 did not deplete T cells, NKT or NK cells, but does enhance the proliferation of anti-CD3-stimulated splenic T cells (Sakanishi & Yagita, 2010). In murine models of melanoma, it promotes the persistence of tumour-specific CD8+ T cells within tumours, and reduces levels of PD-1 expression on CD8+ T cells (Roberts et al, 2010). Additionally, anti-CD27 reduces the proportion of FoxP3+ CD4+ T cells in tumours, and enhances the effector activity of IFNgamma-secreting, tumour-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and NK cells (Roberts et al, 2010). Finally, anti-CD27 Ab treatment alters murine splenocyte cytokine production, significantly reducing IL-5 and IFN-gamma synthesis, and increasing TNF-alpha production (Sumi et al, 2008). It also significantly suppresses total serum IgE levels, while significantly increasing IgG1 and IgG2a levels. These immune modulatory properties translate into potent anti-tumour effects in mice. Treatment of established murine melanoma with RM27-3E5 (rat IgG2a) resulted in a significant reduction in lung metastases and subcutaneous tumours, through an IFNgamma-dependent mechanism mediated by CD8+ T cells and NK cells (Roberts et al, 2010). In murine models of T cell lymphoma, the tumour-specific CTL response induced by RM27-3E5 (rat IgG2a) promoted almost complete regression of tumours, regardless of CD27 expression on tumour cells (Sakanishi & Yagita, 2010). This antibody has been used to identify CD27-expressing cells through flow-cytometry (Koyanagi et al, 2012).
