Application Details

Application Notes: Neutralization. Immunohistochemistry on Formalin-Fixed, Parrafin-embedded Sections: 0.25 μg/mL withan overnight incubation at 4 °C. Staining of Human metastatic carcinoma of lymph nodefrom breast tissue. An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with DABchromogen. Heat induced antigen retrieval with a pH 6.0 Sodium Citrate buffer isrecommended. Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human sRANKL by Sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibodysolution) a concentration of at least 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigenaffinity purified antibody, in conjunction with Biotinylated anti-Human sRANKL (PP1086B1or PP1086B2) as a Detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well ofrecombinant Human sRANKL. Western blot: To detect Human sRANKL by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be usedat a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary

Target: RANKL (TNFSF11) (Tumor Necrosis Factor (Ligand) Superfamily, Member 11 (TNFSF11))

Alternative Name: CD254 / RANKL (TNFSF11 Products)

Background: RANKL is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cytokine family which is a ligand for osteoprotegerin and functions as a key factor for osteoclast differentiation and activation. There are three isoforms of RANKL. Human RANKL is a soluble 20 kDa polypeptide, comprising the TNF homologous region of RANKL (176 amino acid residues). This protein was shown to be a dentritic cell survival factor and is involved in the regulation of T cell dependent immune response. T cell activation was reported to induce expression of this gene and lead to an increase of osteoclastogenesis and bone loss. This protein was shown to activate antiapoptotic kinase AKT/PKB through a signaling complex involving SRC kinase and tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor (TRAF) 6, which indicated that this protein may have a role in the regulation of cell apoptosis. RANKL deficient mice show severe osteoporesis and complete absence of osteoclasts as a result of lack of osteogenesis.Synonyms: ODF, OPGL, Osteoclast differentiation factor, Osteoprotegerin ligand, RANK Ligand, RANKL, Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand, TNF-related activation-induced cytokine, TNFSF11, TRANCE, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11
