The lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3, CD223), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) related to CD4, binds to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules but with higher affinity than CD4. Several alternative mRNA splice-variants of human LAG-3 have been described, two of them encoding potential secreted forms: LAG-3V1 (i.e. the D1-D2 domains of the protein, 36 kDa) and LAG-3V3 (D1-D3, 52 kDa). The longer form was detected by ELISA in the serum of healthy individuals as well as of tuberculosis patients with a favorable outcome. LAG-3 expression by T cell clones correlated with IFN-γ production, and hence soluble LAG-3 has been suggested as a serological marker of Th1 responses.

Figure: Detection of endogenous human LAG-3 by FACS analysis using LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (ATTO 647) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806TS)Method: Human PBMC were stimulated (B) or not (A) with 1µg/ml of superantigen SEB. After 2 days PBMC were stained with 10µg/ml (1µg/0.5×106 cells) of LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (ATTO 647) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806TS) and analyzed by flow cytometry.
