CD40L / FITC / REA238

Product Details
Description Clone REA238 recognizes the human CD154 antigen, a 39 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein, also known as CD40L, gp39, T-BAM, TRAP, or Ly-62, which is a proinflammatory and prothrombotic ligand in the tumor necrosis factor family. CD154 is transiently up-regulated on activated CD4+ T cells and plays an important role as a costimulatory molecule in T cell/antigen-presenting cell interactions through ligation of CD40. It mediates B cell proliferation in the absence of co-stimulus as well as IgE production in the presence of IL-4. | Additional information: Clone REA238 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About CD40L
The protein encoded by this gene is expressed on the surface of T cells. It regulates B cell function by engaging CD40 on the B cell surface. A defect in this gene results in an inability to undergo immunoglobulin class switch and is associated with hyper-IgM syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
