> 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE

A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) containing reconstitution instructions is included with the products. Please refer to the CoA for detailed information.

It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.

Inducible costimulator (ICOS), also called AILIM (Activation-Inducible Lymphocyte Immunomediatory Molecule) is a cell-surface receptor and belongs to the CD28 family of immune costimulatory receptors consisting of CD28, CTLA-4, and PD-1. The interaction of B7-H2/ICOS plays a critical role in Th cell differentiation, T−B cell interactions which are essential for the germinal center formation, and humoral immune responses, and as well as the production of cytokine IL-4. Also, ICOS is more potent in the induction of IL-10 production, a cytokine important for the suppressive function of T regulatory cells. The B7-1/B7-2--CD28/CTLA-4 and ICOS-B7RP-1 pathway provide key second signals that can regulate the activation, inhibition, and fine-tuning of T-lymphocyte responses. ICOS stimulates both Th1 and Th2 cytokine production but may have a preferential role in Th2 cell development. Moreover, The B7-1/B7-2-CD28/CTLA-4 and ICOS-B7RP-1 pathway has been suggested as being involved in the development of airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness.Cancer ImmunotherapyCo-stimulatory Immune Checkpoint TargetsImmune CheckpointImmune Checkpoint ProteinsImmune Checkpoint TargetsImmunotherapyTargeted Therapy
