Inducible T-cell costimulator, also known as activation-inducible lymphocyte immunomediatory molecule, CD278, AILIM, CVID1 and ICOS, belongs to the CD28 and CTLA4 cell surface receptor family.. ICOS contains one Ig-like V-type domain and exsits as a homodimer with disulfide-linked. ICOS is highly expressed on tonsillar T-cellsand can be induced by PMA and ionomycin, ICOS plays an important role in cell-cell signaling, immune responses, and regulation of cell proliferation. Defects in ICOS are the cause of immunodeficiency common variable type 1, which is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antige.
Confezionamento: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.<br/>Normally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.<br/>Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
Stoccaggio: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80℃. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8℃ for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20℃ for 3 months.
