Description

The MIH24 monoclonal antibody reacts with human TRANCE (TNF-related activation-induced cytokine receptor) also known as RANKL (receptor activator of NF-κB ligand) and OPGL (Osteoprotegerin Ligand). TRANCE is a type II membrane protein with predicted molecular weight of 35 kDa. Its extracellular domain is most closely related to TRAIL, FasL and TNF. TRANCE mRNA is upregulated by TCR stimulation. TRANCE-deficient mouse lacks osteoclasts. In addition, TRANCE has been shown to be involved in the interactions between T-dendritic and T-B cells. It was also found to be critical in osteoclast differentiation. The TRANCE-RANK interaction regulates the expression of the anti-apoptotic molecule Bcl-x_L.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The MIH24 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

The MIH24 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of human RANKL transfected cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
