Description

The MFL4 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse and rat Fas Ligand (CD178), a 40 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein. FasL is a member of the TNF family and is expressed by activated T cells. The interaction of FasL with its receptor CD95 induces Fas-mediated killing. It has been reported that the human FasL antigen is cleaved from the surface by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), resulting in a 26 kDa soluble form. The degree of sensitivity for the mouse and rat antigens to MMPs has not been reported. MFL4 has been reported in the literature to cross-react with the rat FasL antigen.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The MFL4 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. MFL4 has also been reported in blocking of FasL mediated killing in functional assays. (Please use Functional Grade purified MFL4, cat. 16-5912, in functional assays.)

Applications Tested

The MFL4 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse FasL transfected cells and activated T cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 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.
