Anti-Mouse CD154 In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin
Introducing the Anti-Mouse CD154 In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin from Assay Genie,** a highly specific monoclonal antibody designed for in vivo applications. This antibody targets the CD154 protein, crucial in immune response, making it ideal for research in immunology and related fields. With its high specificity and ultra-low endotoxin levels (<1.0 EU/mg), it ensures minimal immune response interference, perfect for ELISA, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and other assays. Available in various sizes, it is formulated in phosphate-buffered saline for stability and efficacy.
Enhance your research with this reliable and versatile antibody. CD154, also known as CD40 ligand, is a protein found on the surface of various immune cells, including T-helper cells. It plays a significant role in the immune system by assisting the activation of B cells through interaction with CD40, leading to immune responses like antibody production. This makes the Anti-Mouse CD154 antibody a valuable tool for studying immune mechanisms and 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.
