Formulation

This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added.

Product Preparation

Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only In vitro protein free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.

Pathogen Testing

To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Leinco’s Purified Functional PLATINUM™ antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile.

Storage and Handling

Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Description

Specificity

Clone 7E.17G9 recognizes an epitope on mouse CD278.

Antigen Distribution

ICOS is expressed on activated T cells and APCs including splenic B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages.

Background

CD278 (ICOS) belongs to the CD28 and CTLA-4 cell-surface receptor family. It forms homodimers (47-57kD) and enhances all basic T cell responses to a foreign antigen, specifically proliferation, secretion of lymphokines, up-regulation of molecules that mediate cell-cell interaction, and effective help for antibody secretion by B cells. ICOS signaling is also an important regulator for T cell homeostasis. ICOS plays a role in humoral immune response and is thought to have involvement in the development of Th2 cells and to play a protective role in inflammatory autoimmune diseases.
