Description: Recombinant Human ICOS Protein is produced by mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Glu21-Phe141 is expressed with a Fc tag at the C-terminus. Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μM filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. Gene Symbol: ICOS Alternative Names: AILIM; Inducible T-cell costimulator; Activation-inducible lymphocyte immunomediatory molecule; CD278Entrez Gene (Human): 29851SwissProt (Human): Q9Y6W8Purity : Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.Chemical Structure : EINGSANYEM FIFHNGGVQI LCKYPDIVQQ FKMQLLKGGQ ILCDLTKTKG SGNTVSIKSL KFCHSQLSNN SVSFFLYNLD HSHANYYFCN LSIFDPPPFK VTLTGGYLHI YESQLCCQLK FVDDIEGRMD EPKSCDKTHT CPPCPAPELL GGPSVFLFPP KPKDTLMISR TPEVTCVVVD VSHEDPEVKF NWYVDGVEVH NAKTKPREEQ YNSTYRVVSV LTVLHQDWLN GKEYKCKVSN KALPAPIEKT ISKAKGQPRE PQVYTLPPSR EEMTKNQVSL TCLVKGFYPS DIAVEWESNG QPENNYKTTP PVLDSDGSFF LYSKLTVDKS RWQQGNVFSC SVMHEALHNH YTQKSLSLSP GK Directions for Use : Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 1X PBS. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.Quality Control : Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 IEU/μg) as determined by LAL test.Storage/Stability : Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20°C for 3 months.
