CD40, also known as TNFRSF5, is a type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the TNF receptor family (TNFR). CD40 is expressed on B cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, macrophages, platelets, basal epithelial cells, endothelial cells and a subset of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors. The interaction between CD40 and its ligand TNFSF5/CD40L leads to the clustering of CD40 and the recruitment of TNFR associated factors (TRAFs), including TRAF1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. TRAF1, 2, 5 and 6 serve as positive regulators while TRAF3 is a negative regulator. CD40/CD40L interaction triggers downstream signaling on both cells, including upregulation of CD40 and cell survival on dendritic cells, upregulation of co-stimulatory molecules, CD80 and CD86 on T cells, and production of inflammatory cytokines. In addition, CD40 regulates B-cell development/maturation, Ig isotype switching and in combination with other signals such as IL-4, promotes proliferation. It has been reported that a transcriptional factor, AKNA, can coordinately regulate the expression of CD40 and CD40L. Dysregulation of CD40 is associated with several diseases, such as hyper-IgM immunodeficiency type 3 (HIGM3) and Hodgkin's disease. Targeting of CD40/CD40L for cancer therapy is being evaluated in clinical trials, including anti-CD40 agonist antibodies and soluble recombinant CD40L. Several isoforms have been identified in human and mice.
Product DetailsProduct Details
- Source
- Human CD40 amino acid Glu21-Arg193 (Accession: #P25942.1), with a linker (GS), a C-terminal human IgG1 (Pro100-Lys330) and an Avi-tag, was expressed in 293E cells. Human CD40-Fc Chimera was site-specifically biotinylated by enzyme BirA.
- Molecular Mass
- The 421 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 47.06 kD. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrates at approximately 62 kD and 110 kD by SDS-PAGE, respectively. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Glu.
- Purity
- > 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE
- Formulation
- 0.22 µm filtered protein solution is in PBS, 5% glycerol.
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 EU per µg protein as determined by the LAL method.
- Concentration
- 10 and 25 µg sizes are bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- When recombinant human CD40L (Cat. No. 591702) is immobilized at 1 μg/mL, biotinylated recombinant human CD40-Fc chimera binds in a dose-dependent manner with EC50 range of 50-200 ng/mL. HRP Avidin (Cat. No. 405103) was used to detect the binding.
