B7-H2/ICOSLG Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

B7-H2/ICOSLG Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is a polypeptide chain containing the C-termimal human IgG1 Fc fragment produced in HEK293 cells. ICOSLG is a number of the B7 family of co-stimulatory molecules.

As a member of the B7 family, inducible co-stimulator ligand (ICOSLG) expressed on tumor cell has been reported to have an important role in tumor immunity. As the counter ligand of ICOS, a CD28-related molecule, ICOSLG is expressed on professional antigen-presenting cell (APCs; such as dendritic cells (DCs) and B cells) and on some tumor cells (such as glioma cells and gastric carcinoma cells). ICOSLG is the only B7 family member that preferentially co-stimulates type 2T helper cell (Th2) responses, and interestingly, this unique molecule has a critical role in antitumor immunity. ICOSLG expression on solid tumors (implanted-transfected tumors) aids in both NK mediated and CD8⁺ cytotoxic T cell (CTL) activation and killing. Several studies using ICOSLG-transfected solid tumor cell lines found that ICOSLG induced CD8⁺ cytotoxic lymphocyte-mediated tumor regression^[1].

5 µg/mL (100 µL/well) of immoblized recombinant human B7-H2/ICOSLG-Fc can bind human Biotin-B7-H2/ICOSLG-Fc with a linear range of 0.76-12.21 μg/mL.
