CD269/BCMA [BCMA/2366]
Description The B cell maturation protein (BCMA) is a type I integral membrane protein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R) superfamily. It is expressed as a 184 amino acid peptide that is expressed only in mature B-lymphocytes and is located on the cis part of the Golgi apparatus. BCMA shares significant homology with TACI (transmembrane activator) within the cysteine-rich domain. TACI has been shown to bind CAML, which induces activation of NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells). Both BCMA and TACI have been shown to bind APRIL and TALL-1, which stimulate B cell proliferation in conjunction with other B-cell activators. When overexpressed, TALL-1 stimulates the development of systemic lupus erythaematosus (SLE). (Shipping Cost: €200.00) Host Mouse Application ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Reactivity Human -
HHV8 [LN53]
Description Human herpesvirus-8//Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (HHV-8/KSHV) and macaque retroperitoneal fibromatosis herpesvirus (RFHV) were originally identified in in AIDS patients in association with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and in retroperitoneal fibromatosis (RF) tumor lesions of macaques with simian AIDS, respectively. The most prominent protein expressed in cells latently infected with KSHV and RFHV is the orf73 gene product known as the latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA or LNA). LANA is a nuclear protein that functions to ensure the maintenance of the viral genome by tethering the viral episomal DNA to host cell chromosomes. LANA also regulates the cellular transcription program in host cells through interaction with a number of cellular proteins, including transcriptional regulators and known tumor suppressors, p53 and pRB. In addtion, LANA directly influences the viral transcription program and helps maintain the latent state of the virus by inhibiting viral replication.

Perforin [PRF1/2470]
Description Perforin is a potent cytolytic poreforming protein. It is a specific marker of functionally active cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells. Perforin is a key effector mechanism in T cellmediated cytotoxicity. It mediates cytolysis of target cells by membrane damage and apoptosis. Plays a key role in secretory granule-dependent cell death, and in defense against virus-infected or neoplastic cells. Plays an important role in killing other cells that are recognized as non-self by the immune system, e.g. in transplant rejection or some forms of autoimmune disease. Can insert into the membrane of target cells in its calcium-bound form, oligomerize and form large pores. Promotes cytolysis and apoptosis of target cells by facilitating the uptake of cytotoxic granzymes. (Shipping Cost: €200.00) Host Mouse Application Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Reactivity Human -
