Recombinant CHO-K1 cells constitutively expressing human ICOSL (also known as human secreted B7 homolog 2 (B7-H2), CD275, ICOSLG, and B7-related protein (B7RP), GenBank Accession No. NM_001283050.
Mycoplasma testing: This cell line has been screened using the MycoAlert Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza, #LT07-118) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma contamination.
Host Species: hamster
Supplied as Each vial contains ~ 2 x 10^6 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO.
Background
ICOSL is the Ligand for the T-cell-specific cell surface receptor ICOS. When engaged by the ICOSL, the ICOS initiates a costimulatory signal for T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. It also induces B-cell proliferation and differentiation into plasma cells. The ICOS/ICOSL is a major regulator of the adaptive immune responses and also plays an important role in mediating local tissue responses to inflammatory conditions.
Application
This cell line is useful for screening for ICOSL antibodies through flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry or Western blot.
