Application Details

Application Notes: Immunocytochemistry: Use anti-Fas Ligand, clone H11 unlabeled (Cat. No. MC-106), biotin-labeled (Cat. No. MC-126), or FITC-labeled (Cat. No. MC-136). Flow Cytometry: Use Anti-Fas Ligand, clone H11 unlabeled (Cat. No. MC-106), biotin-labeled (Cat. No. MC-126), or FITC-labeled (Cat. No. MC-136). [ Note: Activated T cells do not express high levels of surface Fas Ligand.] Western Blot: Excellent for this application. Use 2 µg/mL. Use unlabeled (Cat. No. MC-106) or biotin-labeled (Cat. No. MC-126). The optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by the researcher. Figure 1. Immunocytochemistry: Detection of FasL in 293T cells transfected with a FasL expression vector. Method: Transfected cells were plated onto polylysine treated glass slides, fixed and permeabilized in methanol at -20 °C for 5 min, then in acetone at -20 °C for 30 sec. After 3 washes in PBS, 0.1% BSA, slides were incubated for 1 hr at RT with 20 µg/mL of biotinylated H11 antibody (MC-126) in PBS, 0.1% BSA. After rinsing in PBS, FITC-conjugated streptavidin was added for 30 min. Slides were washed again in PBS and visualized using a fluorescence microscope. Method: FasL transfected 293T cells (5x105) were incubated on ice for 30 min in 50 µL FACS buffer (PBS, 5% fetal calf serum, 0.02% sodium azide) containing 1 µg of FITC-labeled H11 antibody (MC-136). After washing in FACS buffer, cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Do not exclude pre-apoptotic cells during data acquisition.

Target Details for FASL

Target: FASL (Fas Ligand (TNF Superfamily, Member 6) (FASL))

Alternative Name: CD178 / Fas Ligand (FASL Products)

Background: Fas Ligand (FasL) is a type II membrane protein and a member of the tumor necrosis factor family. FasL is released by cleavage by metalloproteinases. When interacting with the Fas receptor, the trimeric FasL induces apoptosis. It is responsible for the activation-induced cell death of peripheral T cells and functions as an effector molecule for cytotoxic T cells. FasL is expressed in activated lymphocytes, Sertoli cells, and in certain tumor cells.
