Application Details

Application Notes: ELISA: Indirect: To detect hsRANKL by indirect ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. In conjunction withcompatible secondary reagents, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well ofrecombinant hsRANKL. Sandwich: To detect hsRANKL by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. In conjunction withBiotinylated Anti-Human sRANKL as a detection antibody, it allows the detection of at least0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hsRANKL. Western Blot: To detect hsRANKL by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at aconcentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagentsthe detection limit for recombinant hsRANKL is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing ornon-reducing conditions.

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
