Recombinant Human CD40 Protein, hIgG/His-tagged

• Cat.No.: CD40-07H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human CD40, fused to hIgG-His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in HEK293 cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Specification

• Description: This gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The encoded protein is a receptor on antigen-presenting cells of the immune system and is essential for mediating a broad variety of immune and inflammatory responses including T cell-dependent immunoglobulin class switching, memory B cell development, and germinal center formation. AT-hook transcription factor AKNA is reported to coordinately regulate the expression of this receptor and its ligand, which may be important for homotypic cell interactions. Adaptor protein TNFR2 interacts with this receptor and serves as a mediator of the signal transduction. The interaction of this receptor and its ligand is found to be necessary for amyloid-beta-induced microglial activation, and thus is thought to be an early event in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis. Mutations affecting this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive hyper-IgM immunodeficiency type 3 (HIGM3). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Q&As

Can CD40-targeted therapies be used in the treatment of infectious diseases?

CD40 agonists have the potential to enhance immune responses against infectious agents, but their clinical use in this context is an area of ongoing research.

Are there any approved drugs targeting CD40 for clinical use?

As of my knowledge cutoff date in January 2022, there were no FDA-approved drugs specifically targeting CD40. However, clinical trials were ongoing for CD40-targeted therapies.

Can CD40-targeted therapies be used in combination with other cancer treatments?

Yes, CD40-targeted therapies are often investigated in combination with other treatments like checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy to enhance their effectiveness.

What are the potential side effects of CD40-targeted therapies in cancer treatment?

Side effects may include flu-like symptoms, cytokine release syndrome, and immune-related adverse events, which can be managed with supportive care and close monitoring.

Are there ongoing clinical trials exploring CD40-targeted therapies for atherosclerosis?

Research on CD40-targeted therapies for atherosclerosis is still in the experimental stages and not yet in advanced clinical trials.
