Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is tested by HEK-blue ™ CD40L Activity. Acceptable Level <50ng/mL; >2.0x10^4 units/mg. Additionally testing by ELISA: IL-8 production by human PBMCs.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: CD40 Ligand purity was determined to be greater than 98% as determined by analysis by HpLC, UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm, and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: CD40 Ligand (CD40-L), or CD154, is a membrane glycoprotein and differentiation antigen expressed on the surface of T cells. The CD40 Ligand stimulates B cell proliferation and secretion of all immunoglobulin isotypes in the presence of cytokines. CD40 Ligand has been shown to induce cytokine production and tumoricidal activity in peripheral blood monocytes. It also co-stimulates proliferation of activated T cells and this is accompanied by the production of IFN-gamma, TNF-α, and IL-2. Recombinant human CD40 Ligand is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 149 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 16.3 kDa.
Low Endotoxin: Yes
