CD40 Ligand (CD40L/TRAP) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the TNF superfamily of ligands. Natually, CD40L is a membrane-bound protein, but proteolytically cleaved 15-18 kDa soluble forms of CD40L are also fully active. CD40L plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of B-cells, and is critical for immunoglobulin (Ig) class switching. Recombinant mouse CD40 Ligand is a soluble 18 kDa protein containing 149 amino acid residues comprising the receptor binding TNF-like domain of CDE40L.
Physical form
Sterile filtered and then lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.5 plus 0.1 M Arginine.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. The solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers.
