Active Recombinant Mouse Cd40lg, FLAG-tagged

• Cat.No.: Cd40lg-404M
• Product Overview: Mouse CD40L (aa 115-260) is fused at the N-terminus to mouse ACRP30headless (aa 18-111) and a FLAG-tag.

Specification

• Description: MegaCD40L is a high activity construct in which two trimeric CD40 ligands are artificially linked via the collagen domain of ACRP30. This construct very effectively simulates the natural membrane-assisted aggregation of CD40L in vivo. It provides a simple and equally potent alternative to CD40L+enhancer combinations. MegaCD40L has shown to suppress alum-induced IL-1beta; release and caspase-1 activation in a dose-, CD40- and time dependent manner, without affecting BMDM (Bone marrow-derived macrophages) viability. It also effectively suppressed the inflammasome function triggered by NLRP3 activators. The secretion of caspase-1 independent inflammatory mediators has been shown to be unaltered or even enhanced.
