BAFF Receptor Antibody

BAFF Receptor Antibody

Catalog# : 3097

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 BAFF, BLyS, TALL-1, THANK, and zTNF4 (1-4). BAFF/BLyS was characterized as a B cell activator since it induced B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion (1,2). Two receptors, TACI and BCMA, for BAFF were originally identified (5). A third receptor was identified recently and designated BAFF-R and BR3 for BLyS receptor 3 (6,7). Unlike BCMA and TACI, which bind to BAFF and April, BAFF-R/BR3 is specific for BAFF and plays a predominant role in BAFF induced B cell development and survival. BAFF and its receptors are involved in B cell associated autoimmune diseases, and activate NF-kB and c-jun N-terminal kinase (4-6).
