Purified anti-human CD257 BAFF, BLYS Antibody anti-CD257 - T7-241,BioLegend,318602

The T7-241 antibody recognizes human BAFF also known as B cell activating factor, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily 13B, B lymphocyte stimulator (BLYS), TNF and APOL-related leukocyte expressed ligand 1 (TALL1), and TNF homolog that activates apoptosis, NF-κB, and JNK (THANK). BAFF is a type II transmembrane protein, and a member of the tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily. BAFF can be proteolytically cleaved to form a soluble protein. BAFF, like other TNF ligand family members, forms homotrimers. The predicted molecular weight of a BAFF monomer is approximately 31 kD. BAFF is expressed on peripheral blood B and T lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells and is upregulated by IFN-γ and downregulated by PMA/ionomycin treatment. The T7-241 antibody has been shown to be useful for flow cytometry and ELISA. BAFF stimulates B and T cell immunity and regulates humoral immunity by binding TACI and BCMA receptors; BAFF prevents apoptosis and promotes B cell survival by binding the BAFF-specific receptor (BAFFR/BR3). The T7-241 antibody has been shown to be useful for flow cytometry and ELISA.
