Product Details anti-TRAIL Antibody

Characteristics: The RIK-2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD253 which is also known as TRAIL (TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand) and Apo2 ligand (APO-2L). CD253 is a member of the Tumor Necrosis Factor Superfamily and is encoded by the TNFSF10 gene. CD253 is a type II membrane protein that may be expressed as a full-length, cell surface associated protein as well as in a soluble form. Both surface and soluble forms of TRAIL rapidly induce apoptosis by a wide range of cell lines but not by normal cells. TRAIL is expressed by activated T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, monocytes and by a variety of non-lymphoid cells. TRAIL can bind to and exert apoptosis through DR4 (TRAIL-R1) and DR5 (TRAIL-R2) receptors. It can also bind to decoy receptors, including DcR1/TRID/TRAIL-R3 and DcR2/TRUNDD/TRAIL-R4, and possibly OPG/TNFRSF11B, which may serve to regulate TRAIL activity. TRAIL has been shown to be involved in T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, however its mechanism of action remains to be fully elucidated. The RIK-2 clone was selected based on its ability to block TRAIL-mediated cytotoxic activity. Flow Cytometric Analysis of TRAIL-induced Killing and RIK-2 Blocking using FITC Annexin V staining. Jurkat T cells were left untreated (far left/first panel) or treated for 16 hours under the following conditions: Cells were incubated with 20 ng/mL of recombinant human TRAIL and 10 μg/mL anti-histidine antibody (second panel), or with 20 ng/mL of recombinant human TRAIL and 10 μg/mL anti-histidine antibody preincubated with RIK-2 antibody (third panel), or with 20 ng/mL of recombinant human TRAIL and 10 μg/mL anti-histidine antibody preincubated with mIgG1 antibody (negative control) (far right/fourth panel). Following treatments, cells were evaluated for Annexin-V staining. Cells induced to undergo apoptosis by treatment with recombinant human TRAIL gave a population of cells that was Annexin V-FITC positive (second panel, M2). Annexin V-FITC staining was blocked when cells were incubated with a mixture of recombinant human TRAIL and RIK-2 antibody (third panel, M2). Cells treated with the mixture of recombinant TRAIL and mIgG1 antibody could not block the killing (far right/fourth panel). A small number of Annexin-V positive cells in the untreated population represents a basal level of apoptosis (far left/first panel). The results indicate that clone RIK-2 can block cell mediated killing induced by recombinant human TRAIL as measured by Annexin V-FITC staining of Jurkat cells.
