Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14 (gene Tnfsf14) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 26.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 30 kDa.
LIGHT (TNFSF14) is a TNF family cytokine that binds HVEM (TNFRSF14) and the lymphotoxin-β receptor. Through HVEM it costimulates T cells, promoting their proliferation and IFN-γ production, while binding to the decoy receptor DcR3 limits this activity. LIGHT is studied in T-cell immunity, inflammation and lymphoid tissue organization.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Mouse) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): mouse thymus tissue, mouse RAW264.7 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse spleen tissue, rat spleen tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): ANA-1 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant mouse LIGHT/Tnfsf14 fragment (Met1–Val239), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt places tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14 in the cell membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
