- SynonymICOS,CD278,AILIM,Inducible T-cell costimulator
- SourceHuman ICOS, Fc Tag (ICS-H5258) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Glu 21 - Phe 141 (Accession # Q9Y6W8-1).Predicted N-terminus: Glu 21Request for sequence
- Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 40.2 kDa. The protein migrates as 46-55 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
- EndotoxinLess than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
- Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
- Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Human ICOS, Fc Tag on SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) condition. The gel was stained overnight with Coomassie Blue. The purity of the protein is greater than 95%.
Immobilized Human B7-H2, His Tag (Cat. No. B72-H5221) at 1 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human ICOS, Fc Tag (Cat. No. ICS-H5258) with a linear range of 0.4-6 ng/mL (QC tested).
- BackgroundInducible 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.
