Open Access Abstract Inducible co-stimulator ICOS is the third member of the CD28 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen-4 family and is involved in the proliferation and activation of T cells. A detailed functional analysis of ICOS on peripheral blood T cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus SLE has not yet been reported. In the present study we developed a fully human anti-human ICOS mAb JTA009 with high avidity and investigated the immunopathological roles of ICOS in SLE. JTA009 exhibited higher avidity for ICOS than a previously reported mAb namely SA12. Using JTA009 ICOS was detected in a substantial proportion of unstimulated peripheral .
