The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with APC under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated APC and unconjugated antibody.
Human CD254, also known as RANKL, TRANCE, and OPGL, is a type II transmembrane protein in the TNF superfamily that has two forms: a membrane-anchored protein and a secreted protein. Its extracellular domain is related to TRAIL, FasL, and TNF. CD254 is expressed on osteoclasts and activated T cells. It has been implicated in the regulation of the interactions between T cells and dendritic cells. It plays an important role in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. CD254 activates JNK and NF-κB and induces the expression of IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, and IL-15 in dendritic cells.
