Anti-Human CD178/FasL (NOK-1) ColorWheel^® Dye-Ready mAb

ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 6 (UniProt: P48023; also known as Apoptosis antigen ligand, APTL, CD95 ligand, CD95-L, Fas antigen ligand, Fas ligand, FasL, CD178) is encoded by the FASLG (also known as APT1LG1, CD95L, FASL, TNFSF6) gene (Gene ID: 356) in human. Fas Ligand is a single-pass, homotrimeric, type II membrane protein with a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1-80), a transmembrane domain (aa 81-102), and an extracellular domain (aa 103-281). The membrane-bound FasL (mFasL) undergoes two successive intramembrane proteolytic cleavages. The first one is processed by ADAM10, which produces an N-terminal fragment that lacks the receptor-binding extracellular domain. This ADAM10-processed FasL remnant form is still membrane anchored and further processed by signal peptide peptidase like 2A (SPPL2A) that liberates the FasL intracellular domain (FasL ICD). mFasL can also undergo proteolytic cleavage to produce a truncated soluble form (sFasL; aa 130-281). However, sFasL does not activate Fas, and it competes with the membrane bound FasL to reduce its cytotoxic activity. sFasL can bind to Fas, but does not induce its oligomerization, thereby preventing activation of the proapoptotic signaling pathway by the membrane bound FasL. FasL can also undergo N-glycosylation that enhances its apoptotic activity. Two isoforms of FasL have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. (Ref.: Volpe, E., et al. (2016). Front. Immunol. 7; 382; Schneider, P., et al. (1997). J. Biol. Chem. 272(30); 18827-18833).

Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted antibody solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.

1.0 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL in PBS. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL PBS. Protect from light.
