Human B7-H2 / ICOSLG Protein, Fc Tag

ICOS ligand (ICOSLG) is also known as B7 homolog 2 (B7-H2), B7-related protein 1 (B7RP-1) and CD antigen CD275, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and BTN/MOG family. ICOSLG contains one Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain and one Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. Isoform 1 is widely expressed, while isoform 2 is detected only in lymph nodes, leukocytes and spleen. B7-H2 is ligand for the T-cell-specific cell surface receptor ICOS. B7-H2 acts as a costimulatory signal for T-cell proliferation and cytokine secretion and induces also B-cell proliferation and differentiation into plasma cells. B7-H2 could play an important role in mediating local tissue responses to inflammatory conditions, as well as in modulating the secondary immune response by co-stimulating memory T-cell function.

This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 53.1 kDa. The protein migrates as 66-90 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.

Immobilized Human ICOS (C136S, C137S), His Tag at 5 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human B7-H2, Fc Tag (Cat. No. B72-H5254) with a linear range of 0.3-5 ng/mL (QC tested).
