描述：

FasL Antibody 能够检测内源性水平FasL总蛋白。预期该抗体也能够与膜或可溶性形式的FasL蛋白反应。未检测到其与他家庭成员的交叉反应。该多克隆抗体是采用合成的人源Fas蛋白脯氨酸(134位)周围残基相对应的肽段免疫动物而制备的。抗体由protein A和肽亲和层析技术纯化。受体Fas及其配体FasL的结合会触发细胞凋亡通路，这在免疫调节、发育和癌症进程中起着重要作用（1,2）。无论是Fas（ lpr小鼠）还是FasL（gld小鼠）的功能突变缺失都会导致淋巴结肿大和脾肿大，并减弱CD4-CD8-T淋巴细胞的细胞凋亡（3,4）。FasL (CD95L, Apo-1L)是II型跨膜蛋白，有280个氨基酸（糖基化后电泳条带约40 kDa），属于TNF家族，该家族还包括TNF-α，TRAIL和TWEAK。FasL蛋白与其受体结合，触发形成死亡诱导信号复合物（DISC），同时募集接头蛋白FADD和caspase-8（5）。在这个复合物中caspase-8的激活会引发半胱天冬酶级联反应，从而引起caspase-3的活化和随后的蛋白质裂解，最后导致细胞凋亡。与Fas不同，其在各种类型细胞中都会组成型表达，FasL主要在活化的T淋巴细胞、NK细胞和免疫优先位点表达（6）。FasL也作为一种逃避免疫监视的机制在几种不同类型的肿瘤中表达（7）。与TNF家族的其他成员类似， FasL可以被金属蛋白酶裂解产生可溶形式的26 kDa的三聚体（8,9）。

Specificity / Sensitivity

FasL Antibody detects endogenous levels of total FasL protein. The antibody is expected to react with both membrane bound and soluble forms of FasL. No cross reactivity was detected with other family members.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding proline 134 of human FasL. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

Association of the receptor Fas with its ligand FasL triggers an apoptotic pathway that plays an important role in immune regulation, development, and progression of cancers (1,2). Loss of function mutation in either Fas (lpr mice) or FasL (gld mice) leads to lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly as a result of decreased apoptosis in CD4-CD8- T lymphocytes (3,4). FasL (CD95L, Apo-1L) is a type II transmembrane protein of 280 amino acids (runs at approximately 40 kDa upon glycosylation) that belongs to the TNF family, which also includes TNF-α, TRAIL, and TWEAK. Binding of FasL to its receptor triggers the formation of a death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) involving the recruitment of the adaptor protein FADD and caspase-8 (5). Activation of caspase-8 from this complex initiates a caspase cascade resulting in the activation of caspase-3 and subsequent cleavage of proteins leading to apoptosis. Unlike Fas, which is constitutively expressed by various cell types, FasL is predominantly expressed on activated T lymphocytes, NK cells, and at immune privileged sites (6). FasL is also expressed in several tumor types as a mechanism to evade immune surveillance (7). Similar to other members of the TNF family, FasL can be cleaved by metalloproteinases producing a 26 kDa trimeric soluble form (8,9). 受体Fas及其配体FasL的结合触发的细胞凋亡途径在免疫调节、发育和癌症的进程中起着重要作用（1,2）。
