描述:
The MFL3 antibody reacts with CD178 (Fas Ligand, CD95 Ligand) on all strains tested. In the mouse, Fas Ligand is expressed on activated T
cell lines and in spleen, testis, and eye. FasL mRNA has been demonstrated at various levels in bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph node,
lung, small intestine, testis, and uterus. Moreover, T-cell activators, but not B-cell activators, enhanced the expression of FasL mRNA in
splenocytes; and FasL mRNA was restricted to the T-cell lineage among a panel of cell lines from lymphoid tissues. Fas Ligand is not
functional in mice homozygous for the gld (generalized lympho-proliferative disease) mutation; these mice cannot limit the expansion of
activated lymphocytes and develop autoimmune disease. Fas Ligand is a member of the TNF/NGF family, which binds to CD95 (Fas),
inducing apoptotic cell death. This Fas/Fas Ligand interaction is believed to participate in T-cell development, the regulation of immune
responses, and cell-mediated cytotoxic mechanisms. There is mounting evidence that Fas Ligand is also proinflammatory, mediating
neutrophil extravasation and chemotaxis. Fas Ligand is released from the surface of transfectant cells by metalloproteinases, and the soluble
Fas Ligand may block the activities of the membrane-bound molecule. The MFL3 mAb has been reported to efficiently inhibit the
cytotoxicity of mouse Fas Ligand-transfected cells against human Fas-transfected cells. This hamster mAb to a mouse leukocyte antigen does
not cross-react with rat leukocytes.
注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before
discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
3.Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
