Basic Information  | |
Specificity  | This antibody binds human B7RP-1, which is a ligand for T-cell-specific cell surface receptor ICOS. It acts as a costimulatory signal for T-cell proliferation and cytokine secretion and also induces B-cell proliferation and differentiation into plasma cells.  | 
Alternative Name  | CD275; ICOSLG; ICOSL; B7-H2; B7H2; B7RP-1; B7RP1; KIAA0653; B7 homolog 2; B7-like protein GL50; B7-related protein 1  | 
UniProt  | O75144  | 
Immunogen  | The original antibody was isolated from a human naïve scFv phage library and panning against B7RP-1-Fc protein.  | 
Application Notes  | The scFv version of this antibody binds B7RP-1-Fc with a Kd= 14nM. The binding specificity of this antibody was confirmed using ELISA. This scFv version of this antibody was shown to bind B7RP-1-Fc in an ELISA. This antibody recognized B7RP-1 molecules expressed on B cells, as assessed by flow cytometry. This antibody is capable of inhibiting interaction between ICOS-Fc and B7RP-1-Fc. This antibody also exhibited inhibitory activity in a proliferation assay of T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb and B7RP-1-Fc (PMID:20065650).  |
