Formulation | Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide and 0.2% (w/v) BSA (origin USA). |
Preparation | The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with PE under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated PE and unconjugated antibody. |
Recommended Usage | Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. Test size products are transitioning from 20 µl to 5 µl per test. Please check your vial or your CoA to find the suggested use of this reagent per million cells in 100 µl staining volume or per 100 µl of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application. Read more at www.biolegend.com/testsize regarding the test size change. " |
Applications | FC - Quality tested |
Application Notes | Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: Western blotting1, immunoprecipitation1, ELISA detection1, induction of apoptosis2. The biotinylated 31G4D8 antibody is useful as a detection antibody for a sandwich ELISA assay, when used in conjunction with the purified 36G9G3 antibody (Cat. No. 322101/322102) as capture antibody. The LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/μg, Azide-Free, 0.2 μm filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 322003/322004). |

Description | LT-βR, also known as lymphotoxin beta receptor and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 3 is a 47 kD transmembrane protein containing 3 TNF receptor domains. The LT-βR is a receptor for the heterotrimeric lymphotoxin complex (composed of LTα and LTβ as well as LIGHT). LT-βR is highly expressed in the lung, liver, and kidney and moderately expressed expressed in the heart and testes. LT-βR is weakly expressed in the brain, thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. The cytoplasmic tail of LT-βR interacts with TRAF3, TRAF4, and TRAF5 as well as the hepatitis C virus core protein. Ligand binding to LT-βR has been shown to induce apoptosis (via TRAF3 and TRAF5) and play a role in the development of lymphoid organs. The 31G4D8 antibody has been shown to be useful for flow cytometry, Western blot, immunoprepicitation and and ELISA (detection antibody). In addition, the 31G4D8 antibody is an agonistic antibody for the LT-βR capable of inducing apoptosis (with IFN-γ treatment). |
Storage | The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. |
