Product Overview
Antibody ANC2H3 binds to CD257(BAFF) in EIA and blocks binding of recombinant CD257(BAFF)-muCD8 to receptors on Raji cell surface in Flow cytometry.
Human CD257 (B cell activating factor, BAFF,TALL-1, Blys, THANK) and CD256 (APRIL, a proliferation inducing ligand) are both type II molecules belonging to the TNF superfamily (TNFSFL #13b and 13 respectively). They are expressed by non-B cells, and are down regulated by mitogenic stimulation(2). BAFF and APRIL bind to at least two receptors: CD267 (TACI, transmembrane activator and CAML-interactor) and CD269 (BCMA, B cell maturation antigen), both of which are restricted to B cells(3,4). Ligation of these receptors with recombinant BAFF dramatically increases IgM production by peripheral blood B cells(1). A third receptor CD268 (BAFFR) is specific for BAFF has also been described(5). BAFF and BAFFR knockout mice have a reduced numbers of mature B cells in the periphery, however TACI and BCMA knockouts do not share this phenotype, suggesting that BAFFR may the primary receptor for BAFF in mice(8,9,10). Cell surface BAFF can be proteolytically cleaved to form a soluble trimeric molecule(2). Levels of soluble BAFF correspond with levels of autoantibodies in Sjogren’s Syndrome(11). Clone ANC2H3 binds to recombinant BAFF in EIA and Flow Cytometry and blocks binding of recombinant human CD257(BAFF)trn-muCD8 (catalog #525-020) to receptors on Raji cells in Flow Cytometry.

This antibody has been validated for EIA. Always refer to the product datasheet for recommended dilution ranges and appropriate positive control samples for each application type.
Validated reactivity has been confirmed for Human. Cross-reactivity with additional species may exist based on sequence homology but has not been confirmed by the manufacturer. For unlisted species, we recommend running a preliminary validation experiment.
This antibody was raised in Mouse. For indirect detection (WB, IHC, IF), select an anti-Mouse secondary antibody that matches the isotype. For direct detection, check the variant selector for conjugated formats. Confirm secondary antibody compatibility before ordering.

Please refer to the storage conditions on the product label and datasheet. As a general best practice: upon receipt, aliquot into single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw cycling, which can progressively reduce antibody performance and lead to aggregation.
Validated reactivity covers Human samples. Performance can vary across different cell lines and tissue types depending on target antigen expression levels and epitope accessibility. We recommend verifying target expression in your specific model system using a known positive control before proceeding to experimental samples.
