CD40 Antibody, anti-human, APC, REAfinity™

01MT05574

Clone REA733 recognizes the human CD40 antigen, a transmembrane receptor of the tumor necrosis factor gene superfamily. CD40 is a costimulatory protein constitutively expressed by antigen presenting cells, including dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages and on endothelial, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts. The binding of CD40 to CD154 (CD40L) on T helper cells activates antigen presenting cells and enhances the expression of cytokines, chemokines, matrix metalloproteinases, growth factors, and adhesion molecules. CD40 has been shown to interact with members of the TRAF family.Additiona
