Additional info: CD268 / BAFF R is a TNFR family receptor that binds the B-cell-activating factor (CD257 / BAFF). Splice variants of CD268 have been observed both in man and mouse. A naturally occurring mutation of CD268 in A/WySnJ mice is associated with low number of mature B cells, but with normal B cell precursors. The role of BAFF in B-cell survival and activation make CD268 a potential diagnostic reagent. It may be involved in survival of B-cell malignancies. Experimental administration of a CD268-Fc fusion protein suppresses antibody responses. In T cells the CD268 costimulates their activation and proliferation. Defects in CD268 cause the common variable immunodeficiency 4 (CVID4).SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody NGFR5 (originally C34C) recognizes an epitope within ammino acids 1 - 160 of CD271/NGFR, a 75 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein of the TNFR superfamily.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
