SYNONYMS
T-cell-specific surface glycoprotein CD28, TP44, CD_antigen: CD28, T-cell-specific surface glycoprotein CD28 isoform 1.
INTRODUCTION
CD28 co-stimulation is necessary for CD4 positive T-cell proliferation & survival, interleukin-2 production, and T-helper type-2 development. Human post-thymic regulatory T cells require CD28 co-stimulation to expand and maintain potent suppressive function in vivo. Apoptosis plays a key role in the age-related decline of CD28 expression and in immunosenescence.
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.
