Angiopoietins and Angiopoietin-like Proteins Bind to LILRA/B Receptors and May Activate Innate Immune Responses in Human Monocytes
Protein Development Department, R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN
Research in understanding the roles of Angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL) proteins in immunology is in its infancy. One reason has been a lack of quality tools to study their activity. R&D Systems scientists have produced a range of purified ANGPTL proteins that are now available (Table 1). Their research has utilized these reagents to demonstrate previously unreported associations between Angiopoietins and ANGPTL proteins with LILRA/B receptors. The results suggest new functions for
these proteins and reveal unexplored areas of immunology.
