The inducible costimulator (ICOS, T cell activation molecule H4) is similar to human CD28 (24% homology), and plays an analogous role in the T cell activation process. Each secondary signal from CD28 or ICOS results in a discrete cytokine secretion profile displayed by the activated T cell. 1 Both activation processes are effectively down regulated by CD152 (CTLA-4) engagement.2 Human GL50 is a member of the B7 family sharing ~20% homology with CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2), and has been shown to be a ligand for ICOS.
Functional Application: ICOS-muIg binds to recombinant GL50-muIg in EIA.
Human ICOS-muIg/Biotin Fusion Protein*
