Name : Biotinylated Human B7-2/CD86 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Biotinylated Human B7-2/CD86 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag and Avi tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Leu26-Pro247.[Accession | P42081-1]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 28.2 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 55-70 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Formulation :
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.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3-6 months 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.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Biotinylated Human B7-2 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. ELISA Data Immobilized Biotinylated Human B7-2, His Tag at 1μg/ml (100μl/well) on the streptavidin precoated plate (5μg/ml). Dose response curve for Human CTLA-4, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 1.9ng/ml determined by ELISA.

Background :
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.

Synonyms :
CD86 molecule; CD86; B70; B7-2 antigen; B72; B7-2; BU63; FUN-1; LAB72; MGC34413; CD28LG2
