Biotin Armenian Hamster Anti-ICOS (CD278)
Biotin Armenian Hamster Anti-ICOS (CD278)
Multicolor Flow Cytometric Analysis of ICOS (CD278) Expression    Panel 1- ICOS (CD278) expression on Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Human whole blood was stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 antibody (Cat. No. 562426/562427) and either no antibody (Autofluorescence Control; Top Plot) or Biotin Armenian Hamster Anti-ICOS (CD278) antibody (Cat. No. 568036; Bottom Plot) at 0.5 µg/test. The cells were counterstained with PE-Streptavidin (Cat. No. 554061). Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202). The pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of ICOS (CD278) versus CD3 was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes.    Panel 2- ICOS (CD278) expression on Mouse thymocyte subsets. Mouse thymocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) [Cat. No. 553142]. The cells were then stained with BD Horizon™ R718 Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 (Cat. No. 566939) and BD Horizon™ BUV615 Rat Anti-Mouse CD8a (Cat. No. 613004) antibodies, and with either no antibody (Autofluorescence Control; dashed line histograms) or Biotin Armenian Hamster Anti-ICOS (CD278) antibody (solid line histograms) at 0.5 µg/test. The cells were counterstained with PE-Streptavidin (Cat. No. 554061). DAPI (4',6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dihydrochloride) Solution (Cat. No. 564907) was added to cells right before analysis. The fluorescence histograms showing ICOS (CD278) expression (or Autofluorescence) were derived from CD4 and CD8a gated events as indicated with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (DAPI-negative) thymocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Product Notices

  1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  2. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  4. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

C398.4A

The C398.4A monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Inducible Costimulator (ICOS), which is also known as, CD278, Activation-inducible lymphocyte immunomediatory molecule (AILIM), or H4. ICOS is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that forms a disulfide-linked homodimer and belongs to the CD28 family within the Ig superfamily. ICOS is expressed on either CD4+ or CD8+ single-positive mature thymocytes, T cells, or subsets of Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC). Its expression is upregulated on activated T lymphocytes. ICOS is a costimulatory receptor that can bind to the B7-H2 ligand (CD275, ICOS-L) that is expressed on B cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and endothelial cells. ICOS plays a critical role in many types of T cell-dependent immunity. In the case of humoral immunity, for example, ICOS signaling is critical for the differentiation of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and development of germinal centers. Although C398.4A was generated against mouse ICOS, this antibody reportedly crossreacts with human, rhesus, and rat ICOS.

Biotin
Biotin is a ubiquitous co-factor (also known as Vitamin B7) that has many properties that make it extremely useful for molecular biology. Biotin has an extremely high affinity for the Avidin family of proteins (Kd = 10-15 M), making it the perfect tool to link two molecules. Biotin labeled antibodies can be combined with any number of Avidin-conjugated probes in order to customize an assay to a particular need. This is especially useful in the case of magnetic cell separation using streptavidin/magnetic bead conjugates, or in the case of flow cytometry using streptavidin/fluorophore conjugates.
