Introducing the Anti-Mouse CD40 [FGK45] In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin from Assay Genie, a highly specific monoclonal antibody designed for in vivo applications. This antibody targets the CD40 protein, a pivotal component of the immune response, making it indispensable for research in immunology and related fields. With a rat IgG2a isotype, it ensures exceptional purity and ultra-low endotoxin levels (<0.01 EU/mg), perfect for ELISA, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and other assays. Available in various sizes, it is formulated in phosphate-buffered saline for optimal stability and efficacy.
Enhance your research with this reliable and versatile antibody. CD40 is a costimulatory protein found on antigen-presenting cells and is essential in mediating a wide range of immune and inflammatory responses. By binding to its ligand CD40L, CD40 plays a crucial role in activating B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells, facilitating adaptive immunity and inflammation. This makes the Anti-Mouse CD40 [FGK45] In Vivo Antibody a critical tool for advancing studies in immune regulation, autoimmune diseases, and potential therapeutic interventions.

CD40, also known as TNFSF5, is a type I transmembrane protein and member of the TNF receptor family. The binding of CD40L (CD154) on TH cells to CD40 activates antigen presenting cells and induces a variety of downstream effects (1). CD40 is expressed on B cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, thymic epithelial cells and, at low levels, on T cells (2). Signaling though CD40 plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of B cells and is critical for immunoglobulin (Ig) class switching (3). The membrane-anchored CD40L is expressed almost exclusively on activated CD4+ T lymphocytes. Failure to express CD40L leads to "immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM", a disease characterized by failure to produce IgG, IgA and IgE. Some of the early intracellular signaling by the CD4-CD40L system includes the association of the CD40 with TRAFs and the activation of various kinases (4). Adaptor protein TNFR2 interacts with this receptor and serves as a mediator of the signal transduction. The interaction of CD4-CD40L is found to be necessary for amyloid-beta-induced microglial activation, and thus is thought to be an early event in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis.
