CTLA-4 Protein, Human (HEK293, mFc)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The CTLA-4 protein is a key inhibitory receptor and a major negative regulator of T cell responses in coordination of immune regulation. Its unique property is its significantly increased affinity for B7 ligands (CD80/CD86) compared with CD28. CTLA-4 Protein, Human (HEK293, mFc) is the recombinant human-derived CTLA-4 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-mFc labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The CTLA-4 protein is a key inhibitory receptor and a major negative regulator of T cell responses in coordination of immune regulation. Its unique property is its significantly increased affinity for B7 ligands (CD80/CD86) compared with CD28. CTLA-4 Protein, Human (HEK293, mFc) is the recombinant human-derived CTLA-4 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-mFc labeled tag.

Background

GMP CTLA-4, a pivotal inhibitory receptor, emerges as a principal negative regulator orchestrating T-cell responses within the intricate framework of immune modulation. This regulatory function stems from the distinctive property of GMP CTLA-4, displaying significantly heightened affinity for its natural B7 family ligands, CD80 and CD86, compared to the cognate stimulatory coreceptor CD28. This pronounced difference in binding affinity positions GMP CTLA-4 to competitively engage with CD80/B7-1 and CD86/B7.2, exerting a suppressive influence on T-cell activation and finely tuning immune responses. The homodimeric structure of GMP CTLA-4, intricately linked by disulfide bonds, further underscores its role as a molecular sentinel in immune regulation. Additionally, GMP CTLA-4 interacts with ICOSLG, contributing to its multifaceted engagement in immune checkpoint pathways.

Verified Bioactivity

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris, 100 mM glycine, 25 mM Arginine, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, 10% trehalose.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
