Background of ICOS
Inducible T-cell costimulator is an immune checkpoint protein that in humans is encoded by the ICOS gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the CD28 and CTLA-4 cell-surface receptor family. It forms homodimers and plays an important role in cell-cell signaling, immune responses, and regulation of cell proliferation.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Figure 1. IHC analysis of ICOS using anti-ICOS antibody (A00291-3).
ICOS was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human tonsil tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-ICOS Antibody (A00291-3) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

Asked: 2019-10-14
Answer
Based on literature blood does express ICOS. Based on Uniprot.org, ICOS is expressed in leukocyte, blood, thymus, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have ICOS expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Blood, Pubmed ID: 11006126, 15489334

Question
Would A00291-3 anti-ICOS antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-30
Answer
It shows on the product datasheet, A00291-3 anti-ICOS antibody as been tested on ICC. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.

Question
Can you help my question with product A00291-3, anti-ICOS antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
N. Wu
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-05-21
Answer
We suggest not storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free A00291-3 anti-ICOS antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

We bought anti-ICOS antibody for Flow Cytometry on thymus in a previous project. I am using human, and We intend to use the antibody for IHC next. I would like examining thymus as well as leukocyte in our next experiment. Could give a recommendation on which antibody would work the best for IHC?
F. Wu
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-05-05
Answer
I took a look at the website and datasheets of our anti-ICOS antibody and it seems that A00291-3 has been validated on human in both Flow Cytometry and IHC. Thus A00291-3 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for IHC in human even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for IHC detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.
