TWEAK/TNFSF12 Antibody (MTW-1) - Chimeric - Azide and BSA Free

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: TWEAK/TNFSF12 Antibody (MTW-1) - Chimeric [NBP3-09045] - Immunofluorescence analysis of paraformaldehyde fixed mouse splenocytes immobilized on Shi-fix(TM) cover-slips and stained with the chimeric rabbit IgG version of MTW-1 (NBP3-09045) at 10 ug/ml followed by Alexa Fluor(R) 488 secondary antibody (2 ug/ml), showing membrane staining in subset of cells. The nuclear stain is DAPI (blue). Panels show from left-right, top-bottom NBP3-09045, DAPI, merged channels and an isotype control. The isotype control was stained with anti-Fluorescein antibody followed by Alexa Fluor(R) 488 secondary antibody.

TWEAK/TNFSF12 Antibody (MTW-1) - Chimeric - Azide and BSA Free Summary

• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: This antibody was raised by immunising SD rats with CD8-mTWEAK, a fusion of the human CD8alpha extracellular region to murine TWEAK.
• Specificity: This antibody is specific for murine TWEAK. It has been shown not to react with TNF- alpha , FasL, and TRAIL.
• Isotype: IgG Kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Rabbit
• Gene: TNFSF12
• Purity: Protein A purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Block/Neutralize
  • Flow Cytometry
  • Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence
• Application Notes: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rat IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
  
  The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed in flow cytometric analysis, where it reacts specifically with mTWEAK-transfected L5178Y cells, and not with parental L5178Y cells or cells transfected with related TNF family members (Nakayama et al, 2003). Additionally, this antibody has been used to assess TWEAK cell surface expression in flow cytometric analysis (Nakayama et al, 2003). This antibody has been shown to block CD8-mTWEAK cytotoxicity against L5178Y cells over-expressing murine Fn14, the TWEAK receptor (Nakayama et al, 2003). When administered to collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice, this blocking antibody has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic effects, with associated improvements to both the clinical and histological manifestations of CIA (Kamata et al, 2006). Additionally, administration of this antibody to denervated mice attenuates denervation-induced skeletal muscle loss (Mittal et al, 2010). Finally, administration of this antibody to CD163-/- mice subject to hind limb ischaemia inhibits the increased perfusion resulting from CD163 deficiency (Akahori et al, 2015).

Background

CD266 is a 14 kD transmembrane protein known as TWEAK receptor (TWEAK-R) or fibroblast growth factor inducible 14 (Fn14). It is member 12A of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF12A) expressed at low levels in a variety of tissues, such as heart, placenta, lung, muscle, and pancreas. TWEAK-R binds TWEAK (CD255) and interacts with the cytoplasmic proteins TRAF1, 2, and 3. The engagement of Fn14 can induce cell death and may play a role in inflammation, hepatocyte growth, and liver neoplasia. ITEM-4 antibody reacts with both mouse and human Fn14. It is useful for flow cytometric analysis.
