Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Protein Length: Met1-Phe141
• Description: Inducible costimulator (ICOS), also called AILIM (activiation-inducible lymphocyte immunomediatory molecule) is a cell-surface receptor, and belongs to the CD28 family of immune costimulatory receptors consisting of CD28, CTLA-4 and PD-1. The interaction of B7-H2/ICOS plays a critical role in Th cell differentiation, T−B cell interactions which is essential for germinal center formation, and humoral immune responses, and as well as the production of cytokine IL-4. In addition, ICOS is more potent in the induction of IL-10 production, a cytokine important for suppressive function of T regulatory cells. The B7-1/B7-2--CD28/CTLA-4 and ICOS-B7RP-1 pathway provides key second signals that can regulate the activation, inhibition and fine-tuning of T-lymphocyte responses. ICOS stimulates both Th1 and Th2 cytokine production but may have a preferential role in Th2 cell development. Moreover, The B7-1/B7-2-CD28/CTLA-4 and ICOS-B7RP-1 pathway has been suggested of being involved in the development of airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness.
• Form: Lyophilized
• N-terminal Sequence Analysis: Glu 21
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU/ μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: > 94 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Characteristic: Disulfide-linked homodimer
  Labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 via amines
  With an excitation and emission maximum of 555/565 nm, Alexa Fluor 555 can be efficiently excited using a 543 nm He-Ne laser line and detected under standard TRITC/Cy3 filters.
• Stability: Samples are stable for up to 12 months from date of receipt at -70 centigrade.
• Storage: Store it under sterile conditions at -20 centigradeto -80 centigrade. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5%-8% trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Shipping: Shipped at ambient temperature.
  Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
