HHLA2 Protein, Human, Recombinant (ECD, hFc Tag)

B7H7 gene encodes a protein-ligand found on the surface of monocytes. The encoded protein is thought to regulate cell-mediated immunity by binding to a receptor on T lymphocytes and inhibiting the proliferation of these cells. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. HERV–H LTR-associating 2 (HHLA2, also called B7H7/B7-H5/B7y) has been recently discovered as the newest member of the B7 family and has 23–33% similarity in amino acid sequence with the other B7 molecules. This ligand is the only B7 family member that is found in humans but not in mice. It is constitutively expressed on the surface of human monocytes and is induced on B cells. HHLA2 binds to its putative receptor (s) on a variety of immune cells including CD4 and CD8 T cells and antigen-presenting cells. Similar to B7-H3, both a T cell coinhibitory role, as well as a costimulatory role, has been reported for this ligand.

1.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. 2.Immobilized human TMIGD2 (Cat:PH52203M2) at 10μg/mL (100μL/well) can bind human HHLA2-Fc (Cat:PH52090M4), the ECof human HHLA2-Fc is 0.3-3μg/mL.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
