General Information
Background:
Inducible T-cell costimulator (ICOS) is an activation-dependent, T cell-specific cell surface molecule related to CD28 and CTLA-4. ICOS enhances all basic T-cell responses to a foreign antigen, namely proliferation, secretion of lymphokines, up-regulation of molecules that mediate cell-cell interaction, and effective help for antibody secretion by B-cells. ICOS has to be de novo induced on the T-cell surface, does not upregulate the production of interleukin-2, but superinduces the synthesis of interleukin-10, a B-cell-differentiation factor. ICOS activated T-cells, Highly expressed on tonsillar T-cells, are closely associated with B-cells in the apical light zone of germinal centers, the site of terminal B-cell maturation. It is expressed at lower levels in thymus, lung, lymph node, and peripheral blood leukocytes. It is also expressed in the medulla of the fetal and newborn thymus.
