Description

CD28 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 376 amino acids (19-152a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 42.4kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa). CD28 is expressed with a 242 amino acids hIgG-His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
CD28 co-stimulation is essential for the proliferation and survival of CD4 positive T-cells, the production of interleukin-2, and the development of T-helper type-2 cells. Human regulatory T cells, which mature after leaving the thymus, rely on CD28 co-stimulation for expansion and to maintain their strong suppressive function within the body. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, plays a significant role in the age-related decrease of CD28 expression, contributing to a decline in immune system function (immunosenescence).
Description
Recombinant Human CD28, produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells, is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain composed of 376 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 19-152a.a.). It has a molecular weight of 42.4kDa. On SDS-PAGE analysis, its size appears to range from 40-57kDa. This CD28 protein is expressed with a 242 amino acid hIgG-His tag at its C-Terminus and undergoes purification using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The CD28 protein solution has a concentration of 1mg/ml and is prepared in a solution of Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) containing 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it should be kept frozen at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (either 0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be avoided.
Purity
The purity is greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Biological Activity
The ED50, a measure of the protein's effectiveness, is approximately 60ug/ml. This value is determined through a functional ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) that assesses its binding ability to Human CD80 (catalog number pro-2473).
Synonyms

T-cell-specific surface glycoprotein CD28, TP44, CD_antigen: CD28, T-cell-specific surface glycoprotein CD28 isoform 1.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

CD28 functions as a co-stimulatory receptor that is essential for the full activation of T cells. It works in conjunction with the T-cell receptor (TCR) to amplify TCR signals and deliver unique signals that control intracellular biochemical events, ultimately altering the gene expression program of T cells . This co-stimulatory pathway is vital for the regulation of T and B cell responses, and it involves interactions with its ligands, B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86) .

Recombinant Human CD28

Recombinant human CD28 is produced using advanced biotechnological methods. The DNA sequence encoding human CD28 is expressed in host cells, such as HEK293 cells, to produce the recombinant protein. The recombinant human CD28 protein is often biotinylated and verified through various methods, including HPLC and MALS . The recombinant protein is typically provided as a lyophilized powder and can be reconstituted for use in various research applications .

Applications

Recombinant human CD28 is widely used in immunological research to study T-cell activation and co-stimulation. It is also utilized in the development of immunotherapies and in the investigation of immune responses. The ability to produce recombinant CD28 allows researchers to explore its functions and interactions in a controlled environment, providing valuable insights into immune regulation and potential therapeutic targets.

Stability and Storage

Recombinant human CD28 is stable for up to twelve months when stored at -20°C to -80°C under sterile conditions. It is recommended to aliquot the protein to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can affect its stability and activity .
