DescriptionThe MIH12 monoclonal antibody reacts with human B7RP-1, also known as B7h, B7-H2, GL50 and ICOS Ligand. B7RP-1, a member of the B7 family, has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 40 kDa and belongs to the Ig superfamily. Human B7RP-1 is expressed by activated monocytes/macrophages. B7RP-1 binds to the ICOS molecule (AILIM, CRP-1) expressed by activated T cells. The interaction of ICOS/B7RP-1 plays an important role in the T cell costimulation pathway. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This MIH12 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, and immunohistology staining of frozen tissue sections. The MIH12 monoclonal antibody has also been demonstrated to block the co-stimulatory function of B7RP-1 including the inhibition of T-cell proliferation and IL-10 production. Applications TestedThe MIH12 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood leukocytes and IFN-γ-activated PBMC. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. References
