tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13

Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13(TNFSF13) also known as a proliferation-inducing ligand(APRIL) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFSF13 gene. TNFSF13 has also been designated CD256(cluster of differentiation 256). The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tumor necrosis factor ligand(TNF) ligand family. This protein is a ligand for TNFRSF17/BCMA, a member of the TNF receptor family. This protein and its receptor are both found to be important for B cell development. In vivo experiments suggest an important role for APRIL in the long-term survival of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Mice deficient in April showed a reduced ability to support plasma cell survival In vitro experiments suggested that this protein may be able to induce apoptosis through its interaction with other TNF receptor family proteins such asTNFRSF6/FAS and TNFRSF14/HVEM. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. The TNFSF13 gene lies 878 bp downstream of the TNFSF12 gene on chromosome 17p13.1.

Expression system for standard: NS0; Immunogen sequence: A105-L250

Aviva's Monkey TNFSF13 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for TNFSF13 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards (NS0, A105-L250) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TNFSF13 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The absorbance of yellow is proportional to the Monkey TNFSF13 amount of sample captured in plate.
