Introducing the Anti-Human CD40 [G28-5] In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin from Assay Genie, a highly specific monoclonal antibody tailored for in vivo applications. This antibody targets the CD40 protein, a pivotal receptor in immune response regulation, making it ideal for research in immunology and related fields. With a mouse IgG1 isotype, it guarantees high purity and ultra-low endotoxin levels (<0.01 EU/μg), perfect for applications such as ELISA, flow cytometry, and in vivo functional assays. Available in various sizes, it is formulated in phosphate-buffered saline for stability and efficacy.
Elevate your research with this reliable and versatile antibody. CD40 is a costimulatory protein found on antigen-presenting cells and is required for their activation. It plays a crucial role in activating the innate immune system, promoting tumor suppression, and regulating chronic inflammatory conditions. By interacting with its ligand CD40L, it enhances the immune response, making it vital for studies related to immune regulation, cancer immunotherapy, and autoimmune diseases.

CD40 is a 48 kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the TNFR superfamily. CD40, in association with its ligand CD154 (CD40L) - a 39 kD protein, acts as a costimulatory molecule for the activation of B cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, and other antigen presenting cells. CD40 is involved in Ig isotype switching and dendritic cell maturation, as well as the activation, differentiation and proliferation of B cells. CD40 interacts with TNFR2 and is involved in the regulation of signal transduction. CD40 is a potential target for cancer immunotherapy. Blocking the interaction of CD40 with its ligand (CD154) is the sought-after therapeutic objective for preventing and/or improving both autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection. Studies have shown that monoclonal antibodies that block CD154 in human clinical trials resulted in unanticipated vascular complications. Hence, an interest in the therapeutic potential for antagonist mAbs specific for human CD40 is emerging. Antibodies of particular therapeutic interest are those that do not inhibit CD40 signaling via physical competition with CD154. Additionally, the interaction of CD40 and its ligand (CD154) is found to be essential for amyloid-beta-induced microglial activation, thus plays a significant part in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis.
To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Assay Genie's Purified Functional Antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile.
