Report
活性(Bioactivity)-ELISA
Immobilized Human CD40 Protein, His Tag (Cat. No. CD0-H5228) at 1 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human CD40 Ligand Protein, Fc Tag (Cat. No. CDL-H5269) with a linear range of 0.2-3 ng/mL (QC tested).
Protocol
活性(Bioactivity)-FACS
FACS analysis shows that Human CD40 Ligand Protein, Fc Tag (Cat. No. CDL-H5269) can bind to 293T-CD40 cells surface CD40. The concentration of Human CD40 Ligand is 0.3 μg/mL (Routinely tested).
Protocol
活性(Bioactivity)-Bioactivity CELL BASE
Human CD40 Ligand Protein, Fc Tag (MALS verified) (Cat. No. CDL-H5269) stimulates secretion of IL-6 by human B cells. The ED50 for this effect is 9.68-11.48 ng/mL in the presence of 5 ng/mL of Recombinant Human IL‑4 (Routinely tested).
Protocol
Neutralization assay shows that the cytokine secretion effect of Human CD40 Ligand Protein, Fc Tag (Cat. No. CDL-H5269) was inhibited by increasing concentration of anti-CD40L mAb. The concentration of CD40L used is 50 ng/mL. The EC50 is 0.051-0.058 μg/mL (Routinely tested).

背景(Background)
CD40 ligand is also known as CD40L, CD154, TNFSF5 and T-cell antigen Gp39, is a single-pass type I I membrane protein which belongs to the TNF superfamily of molecules. CD40 ligand is expressed predominantly on activated CD4+ T lymphocytes, and also found in other types of cells, including platelets, mast cells, macrophages, basophils, NK cells, B lymphocytes, as well as non-haematopoietic cells (smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells). Although all monomeric, dimeric and trimeric forms of soluble CD40 ligand can bind to CD40, the trimeric form of soluble CD40 ligand has the most potent biological activity through oligomerization of cell surface CD40, a common feature of TNF receptor family members.
CD40 ligand binds to CD40 on antigen-presenting cells (APC), which leads to many effects depending on the target cell type. In general, CD40 ligand plays the role of a costimulatory molecule and induces activation in APC in association with T cell receptor stimulation by MHC molecules on the APC. In total CD40 ligand has three binding partners: CD40, α5β1 integrin and αIIbβ3. CD40 ligand regulates B cell function by engaging CD40 on the B cell surface. A defect in this gene results in an inability to undergo immunoglobulin class switch and is associated with hyper IgM syndrome.
