Reactivity: Human
WB, IHC, IF
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
ELISA: In a sandwich ELISA (assuming 100 μL/well), a concentration of 5-6 μg/mL of thisantibody will detect at least 0.5 ng/well of recombinant Human BAFF when used inconjunction with Biotinylated antigen affinity purified anti-human BAFF(PP1203B1/PP1203B1) as the detection antibody at a concentration of at least 0.25-0.50 μg/mL. Western Blot: To detect Human BAFF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used ata concentration of 0.20-0.40 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents the detection limit for recombinant Human BAFF is 2.0-4.0 ng/lane, undernon-reducing conditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target
BAFF (TNFSF13B)
(Tumor Necrosis Factor (Ligand) Superfamily, Member 13b (TNFSF13B))
Members of the TNF superfamily regulate immune responses and induce apoptosis. A novel member in the TNF family was recently identified by several groups and designated BAFF (for B cell Activating Factor belonging to the TNF Family), BLyS (for B Lymphocyte Stimulator), TALL1 (for TNF- and ApoL- related Leukocyte-expressed Ligand), and THANK (for TNF Homologue that Activate Apoptosis, NFkB and c-jun N-terminal Kinase). BAFF/BLyS was characterized as a B cell stimulator since it induced B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. Two receptors for BAFF were recently identified and designated TACI and BCMA. BAFF also signals through a third TNF receptor BAFFR/BR3. BAFF and its receptors are involved in the development of systemic lupus erythaematosus and other B cell associated autoimmune diseases. Like TNFa and TRAIL, THANK was shown to activate NF-kB and c-jun N terminal kinase (JNK) and to induce apoptosis. The human BAFF gene codes for a 285 amino acid type II transmembrane protein containing a 46 amino acid cytoplasmic domain, a 21 amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 218 amino acid extracellular domain.Synonyms: B cell-activating factor, B lymphocyte stimulator, BAFF, BLYS, Dendritic cell-derived TNF-like molecule, TALL1, TNF- and APOL-related leukocyte expressed ligand 1, TNFSF13B, TNFSF20, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13B, ZTNF4
