Target description

T-cell-specific surface glycoprotein CD28 (UniProt: P10747; also known as TP44, CD28) is encoded by the CD28 gene (Gene ID: 940) in human. CD28 is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-18), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 19-152), a transmembrane domain (aa 152-179), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 180-220). It is mainly expressed on T lineage cells, including thymocytes, but may also be found on plasmablasts. It is reported to be constitutively expressed on both resting and activated T cells, on almost all CD4+ and on at least half of CD8+ T cells in humans. It is involved in T cell activation, proliferation, survival, and cytokine production. It reduces the threshold of TCR triggering required for T cell activation. CD28 signaling transduces a positive signal that promotes proliferation of TCR-stimulated T cells. It is shown to cause the initial activation of naïve CD4 T cells by increasing the sensitivity of T cells to antigen receptor engagement. It also enhances the production of IL-4 and IL-10 in T-cells in conjunction with TCR/CD3 ligation and CD40L co-stimulation. Upon activation of mature T cells, either by mitogens or by cross-linking of the TCR, the expression of CD28 is shown to increase. Ligation of CD3 and CD28 (CD3/28 co-stimulation) is shown to promote increase in glucose metabolism, increased cytokine/chemokine expression, elevate IL-2 production, and induce resistance to apoptosis. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb^® formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

1.2 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
