- BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY: Determined by its ability to induce adhesion in Jurkat cells activated by immobilized anti-CD3. The ED50 for this effect is 0.3-0.6 ug/ml.
Properties
- PURITY: ≥ 95% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
- PHYSICAL STATE: Lyophilized
- STORAGE CONDITIONS: The recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. Reconstituted protein is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. As with any protein, exposing the recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

Background
- B7-H2, or inducible costimulator-ligand (ICOSL), is a transmembrane, co-stimulatory ligand of the T cell-specific surface receptor Inducible T cell costimulator (ICOS) that belongs to the B7 family and immunoglobulin superfamily, along with B7-1, B7-2, PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PD-L2. Whereas expression of inducible B7-1 and B7-2 is largely confined to specialized antigen-presenting cells of lymphoid tissues, B7-H2 expression occurs constitutively in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells of peripheral organs. This striking difference in expression indicates that these three B7 ligands may enable temporally and spatially specific regulation of T cell response through non-competitive CD28 interaction; marking a unique function of B7-H2 in immune reactions of nonlymphoid organs in which T cells have migrated to peripheral tissues having only limited expression of B7-1 and B7-2. Expression of B7-H2 has been shown to be differentially regulated by both TNF-α and IL-1β, and inducible to a lesser extent by CD40 or lipopolysaccharide stimulation. B7-H2’s binding to ICOS on activated T cells results in both positive and negative effects on immune response, including its own downregulation. As a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, B7-H2 is crucially involved in inflammatory immune reactions and the control of excessive immune response; however, unlike B7-1 and B7-2, B7-H2 has not been shown to influence immunity through interaction with CTLA-4, and has only been shown to have restricted interaction with CD28. Interaction of B7-H2 with ICOS has been identified as a critical event in the immunosuppression of tumor-associated memory CD4+ T cells, and has been linked to various auto-immune disorders. CHO cell-derived Recombinant Human B7-H2 Fc is a glycosylated, disulfide-linked homodimer of 942 amino acid residues whose monomer consists of the 238-amino-acid length extracellular portion of B7-H2 fused to the 231-amino-acid length Fc portion of human IgG1 by two glycines. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human B7-H2 Fc dimer is 104.9 kDa; however, due to glycosylation, it migrates at an apparent molecular weight of approximately 90-95 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis under reducing conditions.
