Anti-APRIL

Anti-APRIL Antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with APRIL with Human and Mouse based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with APRIL from other sources has not been determined. APRIL Antibody detects of human APRIL. 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 1alpha) in human and mouse. Two receptors for APRIL were recently identified and designated TACI and BCMA. APRIL stimulates B and T cell proliferation, triggers humoral immune responses, activates NF-kappaB, and induces cell death. APRIL and its close relative of BlyS and their receptors BCMA and TACI are involved in diseases of autoimmunity and cancer. Anti-APRIL antibodies are ideal for investigators involved in Cancer and NFkappaB research.
