Description

The MR1 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD154, a 39 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein also known as gp39 and CD40 ligand (CD40L). gp39 is expressed transiently by activated T cells and through its binding to CD40 on antigen presenting cells including B cells, monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells, serves a crucial function in T-APC cognate interaction. gp39 interaction with CD40 transduces signals for T-dependent B cell activation and induces B cell cycle entry.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This MR1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This MR1 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of resting and 6-8 hour activated splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 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.
