I've been hearing a lot about ICOs recently and I'm curious to understand their purpose. Why do companies launch ICOs? What are they trying to achieve by doing so? Are they just a way to raise funds or is there more to it?

ICOS can induce T cell spreading, a phenomenon where T cells expand their contact area with antigen-presenting cells (APCs).
