Immunopharmacology Comments
A2B receptor is discussed in this immuno-oncology review [1].
Cell Type Associations
Immuno Cell Type:  T cells
Cell Ontology Term:   CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell (CL:0000624)
CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell (CL:0000625)
type I NK T cell (CL:0000921)
Comment:  An anti-A2B receptor antibody shows expression in CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subpopulations. More than 95% of Jurkat T cells were shown to be A2B receptor positive. A2B receptor is expressed by mouse iNKT cells.
References:  55,59
Immuno Cell Type:  Mast cells
Cell Ontology Term:   mast cell (CL:0000097)
Comment:  A2B receptor is expressed by LAD2 mast cells at the mRNA and protein levels. Flow cytometry of permeabilised cells detected receptor protein in intracellular pools. By mRNA expression level, the A2A receptor was the most abundantly expressed of the four adenosine receptor subtypes (A2A > A2B > A3; A1 mRNA not detected).
