DescriptionRabbit anti-TACI polyclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide mapping at the amino terminus of human TACI. Members in the TNF superfamily regulate immune responses and induce apoptosis. Two novel members in the TNF family were recently identified and designated BAFF/BLyS/TALL-1/THANK/zTNF4 and April/TALL-2, respectively. BAFF was characterized as a B cell activator since it induced B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. April regulates immunological and non-immunological cell growth. Three receptors, BCMA, TACI, and BAFF-R, for BAFF and April were recently identified. TACI, like BCMA, binds BAFF and April. TACI and its ligands regulate humoral immune responses, activate NF-kB and c-jun N-terminal kinase, and are involved in B cell associated autoimmune diseases. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This polyclonal antibody has been reported for use in immunoblotting (WB). Applications TestedThis polyclonal antibody can be used for detection of TACI by Western blot at 2 to 5 µg/ml. References
