Soluble CD-40 Ligand/TRAP Human Recombinant
CD40L or CD154 is a membrane glycoprotein and differentiation antigen expressed on the surface of T-cells. The CD40 ligand stimulates B-cell proliferation and secretion of all immunoglobulin isotypes in the presence of cytokines . CD40 ligand has been shown to induce cytokine production and tumoricidal activity in peripheral blood monocytes. It also costimulates proliferation of activated T-cells and this is accompanied by the production of IFN-gamma , TNF-alpha , and IL2 .
| Description | sCD40 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 149 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 16308 Dalton. The sCD40 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Content | Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: 1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.1 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of CD40 as a Reference Standard. |
| Synonyms | CD40-L, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 5, TNF-related activation protein, TRAP, T cell antigen Gp39, CD154 antigen, sCD40, IGM, IMD3, HIGM1, T-BAM, TNFSF5, hCD40L. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Purity | >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC |
| Formulation | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in PBS, pH 7.0. |
| Stability | The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Biological Activity | The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of IL-12 induction & IL-8 production by human PBMC was found to be 5-10 ng/ml. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized sCD40 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Usage | LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. |
