The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with biotin under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated biotin.
Concentration:
0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling:
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C. Do not freeze.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.5 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that reagents be titrated for optimal performance in the particular application.

PHA-stimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes (3 days) stained with biotinylated C398.4A, followed by Sav-PE
The C398.4A antibody reacts with the human, mouse, and rat 47-57 kD ICOS protein, also known as inducible costimulatory molecule and H4. This protein is homologous to the CD28/CTLA-4 proteins. ICOS is expressed on activated T cells and a subset of thymocytes. It is able to costimulate T cells proliferation. In addition, ICOS is involved in humoral immune responses (B cell germinal center formation). The ICOS ligand is B7h/B7RP-1 or B7-H2. ICOS stimulation has been shown to potentiate TCR-mediated IL-4 and IL-10 production and has been proposed to play a role in Th2 cell development. The C398.4A antibody is useful for flow cytometric analysis and is able to costimulate T cell activation and proliferation.
