Background：Inducible T-cell costimulator (ICOS) is also known as Activation-inducible lymphocyte immunomediatory molecule (AILIM), CD278, which belongs to the CD28 family of immune costimulatory receptors consisting of CD28, CTLA-4 and PD-1.
ICOS enhances all basic T-cell responses to a foreign antigen, namely proliferation, secretion of lymphokines, up-regulation of molecules that mediate cell-cell interaction, and effective help for antibody secretion by B-cells.
CD278 / ICOS prevents the apoptosis of pre-activated T-cells and also plays a critical role in CD40-mediated class switching of immunoglobin isotypes.
仕様
サイズ：100ug
Source：Mouse ICOS (C137S, C138S), Fc Tag (ICS-M5259) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Glu 21 - Leu 144 (Accession # Q9WVS0-1 (C137S, C138S)).
Characteristics：This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 40.6 kDa. The protein migrates as 45-55 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin Level：Less than 1.0 EU per ug by the LAL method.
Purity：>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Buffer：Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5
