This hamster monoclonal antibody was generated against a mouse T helper cell clone, and recognizes human, mouse, and rat ICOS.
Inducible T-cell co-stimulator (ICOS) enhances all basic T-cell responses to a foreign antigen, namely proliferation, secretion of lymphokines, up-regulation of molecules that mediate cell-cell interaction, and effective help for antibody secretion by B-cells. The protein is essential both for efficient interaction between T and B-cells and for normal antibody responses to T-cell dependent antigens. It does not up-regulate the production of interleukin-2, but superinduces the synthesis of interleukin-10. It prevents the apoptosis of pre-activated T-cells, and plays a critical role in CD40-mediated class switching of immunoglobin isotypes.

Immunoprecipitation
ICOS Glycosylation Patterns. Reduced immunoprecipitates of ICOS obtained from 125I-surface labeled HUT78 cell lysates were digested for the indicated times with Endo H. Lane C shows the undigested samples. Bold arrows mark the ICOS bands. Antibody C398.4A coupled to protein G-Sepharose was used. Samples were run on SDS-PAGE (14% polyacrylamide gels) under reducing conditionsand visualized with a Phospho imager.

Immunohistochemistry
Immunohistochemical demonstration of hpH4 expression in angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma. Most neoplastic cells show cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for C398.4A mAb. Frozen sections; ABC method; hematoxylin counterstain. Original magnification 400 ×.

Flow Cytometry
ICOS expression in L cells transfected with the human ICOS cDNA. ICOS-transfected (open curve) and wild-type cells (black curve) were stained with C398.4A followed by FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG or mouse anti-hamster IgG, respectively, and analyzed by flow cytometry.
