Recombinant Human CD40 protein(Met1-Arg193), hFc-tagged

• Cat.No.: CD40-493H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human CD40 (NP_001241.1) (Met1-Arg193) was expressed in HEK293 with the Fc region of Human IgG1 at the C-terminus.

Specification

• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: Fc
• Protein length: 1-193
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Bio-activity: Immobilized human CD40L-His at 10 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human CD40-Fc. The EC50 of Human CD40-Fc is 10-30 ng/mL.
• Molecular Mass: The recombinant human CD40 consists 414 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 46.2 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of human CD40 is approximately 54.1 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE. > 95 % as determined by SEC-HPLC.
• Storage: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C to -80°C. Store it under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4°C before opening to recover the entire contents.

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.
