Quick Overview for BAFF antibody (ABIN116401)

Target: BAFF (TNFSF13B) (Tumor Necrosis Factor (Ligand) Superfamily, Member 13b (TNFSF13B))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Goat

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This BAFF antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

Product Details anti-BAFF Antibody

Purification: Affinity chromatography.

Immunogen: Highly pure (>98%) recombinant hBAFF.

Application Details

Application Notes: Neutralization. ELISA: To detect hBAFF by direct ELISA (using 100 l/well antibody solution) aconcentration of at least 0.5 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinitypurified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detectionof 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hBAFF. Western Blot: To detect hBAFF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at aconcentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagentsthe detection limit for recombinant hBAFF is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing ornon-reducing conditions.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for BAFF

Target: BAFF (TNFSF13B) (Tumor Necrosis Factor (Ligand) Superfamily, Member 13b (TNFSF13B))

Alternative Name: CD257 / BAFF

Background: 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
