APRIL Antibody

APRIL Antibody

Catalog# : 2223

Members in the TNF superfamily regulate immune responses and induce apoptosis. A novel member in the TNF family was recently identified by several groups and designated APRIL (for a proliferation-inducing ligand), TALL-2 (for TNF- and ApoL-related Leukocyte-expressed Ligand 2), and TRDL-1alpha (for TNF related death ligand 1a) in human and mouse (1-4). Two receptors for APRIL were recently identified and designated TACI and BCMA (5-7). APRIL stimulates B and T cell proliferation, triggers humoral immune responses, activates NF-kappaB, and induces cell death (1-7). APRIL and its close relative of BlyS and their receptors BCMA and TACI are involved in diseases of autoimmunity and cancer (8,9).
