Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Human Host Species Goat Immunogen CHO Cell-Derived Recombinant human Fas Ligand Endotoxin Level <0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method State of Matter 0.5-2.0 Storage and Handling The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2830191 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Flow Cytometry: It is recommended to use the indirect method for signal enhancement when enumerating cells expressing sFAS Ligand. A suggested method would be to stain cells expressing sFAS Ligand with 0.25 µg per 1 - 2.5 cells in a total staining volume of ≤200 µl followed by PN:G641. Western Blotting: To detect Human sFAS Ligand this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Human sFAS Ligand is 5 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. Additional Applications Reported In Literature ? IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of 15 µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is PN:G505. For chromogenic detection with high signal and low background use PN:D100 or PN:K107. Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Human sFAS Ligand bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND50) of the biological activity of Human sFAS Ligand (at 2 ng/ml) is 2 - 8 µg/ml. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionSpecificity Goat Anti-Human Soluble Fas Ligand (sFAS Ligand) recognizes Human sFAS Ligand. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research. Background Fas ligand (FasL) is a type II transmembrane protein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. Fas ligand is a homotrimeric protein and signals through trimerization of FasR, which spans the membrane of the "target" cell. This trimerization usually leads to apoptosis, or cell death. Soluble Fas ligand is generated by cleaving membrane-bound FasL at a conserved cleavage site by the external serine matrix metalloproteinase MMP-7. Soluble FasL is less active than their membrane-bound counterparts and do not induce receptor trimerization and DISC formation. FasL is regarded as a potential target for immunotherapy.1 Antigen DetailsPubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org References & Citations1. Igney, FH. et al. (2005) Cancer Immunol. Immunother. 54:1127 2.
