CD40LG ELISA Kit (Human) (OKCD00148)

Description of target: Cytokine that binds to CD40/TNFRSF5 (PubMed:1280226). Costimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Its cross-linking on T-cells generates a costimulatory signal which enhances the production of IL4 and IL10 in conjunction with the TCR/CD3 ligation and CD28 costimulation (PubMed:8617933). Induces the activation of NF-kappa-B and kinases MAPK8 and PAK2 in T-cells. Induces tyrosine phosphorylation of isoform 3 of CD28 (PubMed:15067037). Mediates B-cell proliferation in the absence of co-stimulus as well as IgE production in the presence of IL4. Involved in immunoglobulin class switching (By similarity).By similarity&#xd; &lt;p>Manually curated information which has been propagated from a related experimentally characterized protein.&lt;/p>&#xd; &#xd; &#xd; &lt;p>&lt;a href="/manual/evidences#ECO:0000250">More…&lt;/a>&lt;/p> Manual assertion inferred from sequence similarity toiUniProtKB:P27548&nbsp;(CD40L_MOUSE)3 Publications&#xd; &lt;p>Manually curated information for which there is published experimental evidence.&lt;/p>&#xd; &#xd; &#xd; &lt;p>&lt;a href="/manual/evidences#ECO:0000269">More…&lt;/a>&lt;/p> Manual assertion based on experiment iniRef.1"Cloning of TRAP, a ligand for CD40 on human T cells."_x005F_x005F_x000D_Graf D., Korthaeuer U., Mages H.W., Senger G., Kroczek R.A._x005F_x005F_x000D_Eur.
