Expression Host:
NSO Cells
Formulation:
This recombinant protein was 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives.
Background:
CTLA-4 is a 33 kD member of the Ig superfamily similar to CD28 in amino acid sequence, structure, and genomic organization. CTLA-4 is a protein receptor that functions as an immune checkpoint and downregulates immune responses. It is involved in the development of protective immunity and thymocyte regulation, in addition to the induction and maintenance of immunological tolerance. CTLA-4 has therapeutic potential both as an agonist to reduce immune activity, and an antagonist to increase immune activity.
Other Names:
CD152, Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte-Associated Antigen-4, Ly-56
Purity:
>97% by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by silver stain.
Biological activity:
Measured by its ability to inhibit IL-2 production in Jurkat cells stimulated with 1 μg/ml rhB7-1/Fc in the presence of PHA (Linsley, P.S. et al., 1991, J. Exp. Med. 174:561). The expected ED50 for this effect is 0.1 – 0.4 μg/ml..
Endotoxin level:
<1.0 EU/ug as determined by the LAL method
