B7H2 (B7 homolog 2), also known as CD275, B7RP1 (B7related protein) and ICOSL (ICOS Ligand), is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the B7 family of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. Like other B7 family members, B7-H25 contains 1 Ig-like C2-type domain and 1 Ig-like V-type domain in the extracellular region. Among the family members, they share about 20-25% amino acid identity. B7-H2 is expressed on antigen presenting cells such as B cells, macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. B7-H2 has been identified as the ligand for ICOS (also known as CD278), a member of the CD28/CTLA4 family of co-stimulatory receptors. The receptor binding of B7-H2 is mediated by the IgV domain and requires the IgC domain for maintaining the structural integrity of the protein. The B7-H2/ICOS interaction plays roles in T cell dependent B cell activation and Th (T helper) cell differentiation, leading to both positive and negative effects on immune responses. In human, B7-H2 also binds to CD28 and CTLA4, and its interaction with CD28 can co-stimulate T cells. B7-H2 contributes to the development of allergic asthma and other autoimmune conditions. A soluble form of human B7H2 is elevated in the circulation of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. In the thyroid, B7H2 is upregulated on thyrocytes during inflammation and promotes the production of thryoid hormones. It is reported that mouse and human B7-H2 show crossspecies binding to ICOS.
Gene Symbol: B7-H2; CD275; ICOSL; B7H2; GL50; ICOSLG; B7RP1; ICOS-L; LICOS; B7RP-1; KIAA0653
NCBI Gene ID: 23308
Uniprot Entry: O75144
Construct Details: Full length human B7-H2/CD275/ICOSL gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells. It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.
Vector Type: pLTC (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)
Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)
Gene Insert Size: 909 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:
(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;
(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’
Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification. High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
