Anti-CD154 (CD40 Ligand, CD40-L, CD40L, CD40LG, gp39, hCD40L, HIGM1, IGM, IMD3, T-BAM, T-cell Antige

Human CD154 (CD40 Ligand) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family and is expressed on the surface of activated T cells. Interaction of CD154 and CD40 is essential for isotype switching in B cells. Known genetic defects that alter this interaction lead to impaired immune system function. CD154 has been shown to be hyperexpressed by B and T cells in SLE patients. Functional Application: Antibody will block MLR, sgp39 induced human B cell proliferation and T cell dependent B cell differentiation. , Applications: , Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, FLISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only pror to immediate use. Freezing R-Phycoerythrin (PE) conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity.
