Description The HB14 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD40, a 45–50 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein and member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. It is expressed primarily on B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts and at lower levels on plasma cells and a subset of peripheral T cells. CD40 is involved in B cell differentiation and proliferation, isotype class-switching, and protection of B cells from apoptosis. Interaction of CD40 with its ligand CD154 is important in T cell–B cell interaction and plays a role in co-stimulation and immune regulation. Clone HB14 blocks the binding of CD40 to CD154.
About CD40 and APC
CD40 This gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The encoded protein is a receptor on antigen-presenting cells of the immune system and is essential for mediating a broad variety of immune and inflammatory responses including T cell-dependent immunoglobulin class switching, memory B cell development, and germinal center formation. AT-hook transcription factor AKNA is reported to coordinately regulate the expression of this receptor and its ligand, which may be important for homotypic cell interactions. Adaptor protein TNFR2 interacts with this receptor and serves as a mediator of the signal transduction. The interaction of this receptor and its ligand is found to be necessary for amyloid-beta-induced microglial activation, and thus is thought to be an early event in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis. Mutations affecting this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive hyper-IgM immunodeficiency type 3 (HIGM3). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
APC Allophycocyanin (APC) is a fluorescent protein derived from cyanobacteria and red algae and a potent donor fluorophore to create tandem dyes that can be excited off the 633-640 nm laser. APC has an excitation peak at 650 nm and a emission peak at 660 nm.
