Name :
B7-2 Protein
Description :
B7-1 and B7-2 are homologous costimulatory ligands expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells (APCs). Binding of these molecules to the T cell costimulatory receptors, CD28 and CTLA-4, is essential for the activation and regulation of T cell immunity. B7-1 and B7-2 do not form hetero-oligomers, underscoring the biological relevance of dimeric and monomeric state of B7-1 and B7-2, respectively.
Species :
Human
Uniprotkb :
HEK293
Tag :
C-hFc
Synonyms :
B7-2, FUN-1, B7-2 antigen, CD86, LAB72, CD86 molecule, CD28LG2, B70, BU63, MGC34413, B72
Construction :
Recombinant Human B7-2/CD86 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Leu26-Pro247.[Accession |P42081-1]
Protein Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE; > 95% as determined by HPLC
Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 52 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 75-90 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
Endotoxin :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.
Formulatione :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Stability & Storage :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -20 to -80°C for 3-6 months in unopened state after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping :
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
