Description

The eBioHVEM-122 antibody reacts with Herpes Virus Entry Mediator (HVEM, TR2), a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. HVEM is found on most cell types, including T cells, B cells, monocytes, neutrophils and dendritic cells. This receptor was identified as a cellular mediator of herpes simplex virus (HSV) entry. Binding of HSV viral envelope glycoprotein D (gD) to this receptor protein has been shown to be part of the viral entry mechanism. The cytoplasmic region of HVEM was found to bind to several TRAF family members, which may mediate the signal transduction pathways that activate the immune response. Recent studies have shown HVEM as a unique ligand for BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator). The conservation of the BTLA-HVEM interaction between mouse and human suggests that this system is an important pathway regulating lymphocyte activation and/or homeostasis in the immune response.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioHVEM-122 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This eBioHVEM-122 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis. This can be used at 20 μl ( 0.25 μg) per 100 μl blood (or per 1 million cells in 100 μl total staining volume).
