Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD178
Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD178
Flow cytometric analysis of human CD178 on natural killer cells (CD16+). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured for 3 hours in media alone (right panel) or with ionomycin plus the metalloprotease inhibitor, KB8301 (left panel). KB8301 blocks CD178 cleavage resulting in high levels of cell surface CD178. The cells were stained with either Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD178 (Cat. No. 556371; solid line histograms) or Purified Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557273; dashed line histograms), followed by Biotin Goat Anti-Mouse Ig (Multiple Adsorption) (Cat. No. 550337). The cells were then incubated with normal mouse serum before adding FITC Mouse Anti-Human CD16 (Cat. No. 555406) and Streptavidin-PE (Cat. No. 554061). Fluorescent histograms were derived from gated events with the side and forward light-scattering characteristics of viable CD16+ cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ system.
Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD178
Immunoprecipitation/western blot analysis of human CD178. CD178 was precipitated from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC's) with either Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD178 (Lane 1) or Purified Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557273; Lane 2) and detected by western blot analysis with clone G247-4 (Cat. No. 556387). The bands above and below the 40 kDa CD178 band in lane 1 and lane 2 represent the heavy and light chain of IgG used for immunoprecipitation.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. This preparation contains no preservatives, thus it should be handled under aseptic conditions.

Recommended Assay Procedures

NOK-1 has also been shown to neutralize the cytotoxic activity of FasL. Neutralization of FasL activity inhibits Fas-mediated killing. Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD178 (Cat. No. 556371) should be used for all functional assays. NOK-1 and a related human FasL clone, NOK-2 [Cat. No. 556376 (purified) and No. 556375 (NA/LE)] may give different profiles in neutralization assays. It is thought that NOK-1 and NOK-2 likely recognize different FasL epitopes. Neither NOK-1 nor NOK-2 are suggested for western blot analysis.  

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

NOK-1

The NOK-1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD178. Fas (CD95; APO-1) is a 45 kDa cell surface protein that mediates apoptosis when cross-linked with agonistic anti-Fas antibodies or by Fas ligand (FasL; CD178). Fas belongs to the TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor)/NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) receptor family, and is expressed in various tissues and cells including the thymus, liver, ovary and lung. CD178 (FasL), a member of the TNF cytokine family, induces apoptosis by binding to Fas, its cell-surface receptor. FasL may exist as either membrane bound or soluble forms and is expressed by activated T and NK cells. FasL may also be constitutively expressed in some immunologically privileged sites, e.g., eye and testis. Fas and FasL play an important role in the induction of apoptosis, and thus regulate a variety of immunological responses.

The NOK-1 antibody clone has been reported to recognize human FasL, recognizing both the membrane bound (FasL) and soluble (sFasL) forms. It is reported that the epitope for NOK-1 has been mapped to the COOH-terminus of FasL, at the region implicated in Fas binding. FasL and sFasL have been reported to migrate at reduced molecular weights of 40 and 26 kDa, respectively. However, the molecular weights observed in a particular sample may vary according to FasL and sFasL glycosylation and breakdown patterns as described in the literature.  The NOK-1 antibody clone is not recommended for the Western blot application.

NA/LE
NA/LE refers to the culture and purification methods and buffer used to produce purified antibodies with no azide and low endotoxin: Aqueous buffered solution containing no preservative, 0.2µm sterile filtered. Endotoxin level is ≤0.01 EU/µg (≤0.001 ng/µg) of protein as determined by the LAL assay.NA/LE are perfectly suited to be used in culture or in vivo (for nonhuman studies) for functional assays — blocking, neutralizing, activation or depletion — where the presence of azide may damage cells or exogenous endotoxin may signal or activate cells.
