Description

The 7E.17G9 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse ICOS (Inducible COStimulatory molecule), a T cell specific molecule and a third member of the CD28/CTLA-4 family. A homodimer of 47-57 kDa, ICOS is expressed on activated T cells, has potent costimulatory activity for T cell activation and proliferation and is required for humoral immune response. ICOS binds to its ligand on activated APC including B cells called B7h/B7RP-1 and is thought to play a protective role in inflammatory autoimmune diseases. ICOS may be involved in the development of Th2 cells.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. 7E.17G9 has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis and for inhibition of ligand binding in functional assays.

Applications Tested

The 7E.17G9 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of unstimulated and ConA activated (3 day) mouse splenocyte suspensions and can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 µg/million cells. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
