CD28 was initially identified by antibodies as a 44 kD protein on the membrane of human T cells. CD28 is a 23 kD glycosylated type 1 transmembrane protein, which forms a disulfide-linked homodimer. CD28 is a costimulatory receptor that synergizes with TCR-mediated signals to enhance cytokine production and the proliferation of T cells. CD28 plays a primordial role for the priming of naive T cells. CD28, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4, CD152), inducible costimulatory (ICOS), programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1), and B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) are members of the family of costimulatory receptors. CD28 and CTLA-4 both bind the same ligands B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86). CD28 and ICOS mainly induce T-cell activation while as CTLA-4, PD-1, and BTLA are inhibitory. In murine plasmacytoid dendritic cells, CD28 signaling induces the downregulation of type I interferon production, which contrasts with its activation role in T cells. CD28 is also expressed on normal murine and human plasma cells (PCs). It promotes PC survival, sustained antibody responses, and the upregulation of transcriptional repressor B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (Blimp-1), which is a master regulator of PC differentiation. CD28 is also expressed in malignant BM-resident PC of multiple myeloma (MM) and its overexpression in myeloma cells is associated to bad prognostics. The soluble costimulatory molecule CD28 has been detected in the serum of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, primary Sjögren's syndrome, and systemic sclerosis. Soluble CD28 results from the shedding of the membrane-bound form.

- Application Notes
-
BioLegend carrier-free recombinant proteins provided in liquid format are shipped on blue-ice. Our comparison testing data indicates that when handled and stored as recommended, the liquid format has equal or better stability and shelf-life compared to commercially available lyophilized proteins after reconstitution. Our liquid proteins are verified in-house to maintain activity after shipping on blue ice and are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you have any concerns, contact us at [email protected].

• Greater than 95% Purity or higher, tested on every lot of product.
• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee for quality performance, stability, and consistency.
• Ready-to-use liquid format saves time and reduces challenges associated with reconstitution.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
