Description
Product Characteristics: Human CD70 is not present on resting lymphocytes. CD70 is expressed after activation on about 20% of T cells and on about 70% of B cells. CD70 is a ligand for CD27 and it is also a member of the tumor necrosis factor gene family. Antibody BU69 recognizes CD70 molecule of approximately 30 kDa. Synonyms: Monoclonal CD70 antibody, Anti-CD70 antibody, Bu69 antibody.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for TNFRSF27/CD27. It is a surface antigen on activated, but not on resting, T and B lymphocytes. It induces proliferation of costimulated T cells, enhances the generation of cytolytic T cells, and contributes to T cell activation. This cytokine is also reported to play a role in regulating B-cell activation, cytotoxic function of natural killer cells, and immunoglobulin sythesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
