CD268(BAFFR)-muIg Biotinylated

The human B cell activating factor (BAFF) and APRIL(a proliferation inducing ligand) are both type II molecules belonging to the TNF superfamily. They are expressed by non-B cells, and are down regulated by mitogenic stimulation(2).  BAFF and APRIL bind to at least two receptors: TACI (transmembrane activator and CAML-interactor) and BCMA (B cell maturation antigen), both of which are restricted to B cells(3,4).  Ligation of these receptors with recombinant BAFF dramatically increases IgM production by peripheral blood B cells(1).  A third receptor  for BAFF (BAFF-R) has been described(5). BAFF and BAFFR knockout mice have a reduced numbers of mature B cells in the periphery, however TACI and BCMA knockouts do not share this phenotype, suggesting that BAFF-R may the primary receptor for BAFF in mice(8,9,10).  Cell surface BAFF can be proteolytically cleaved to form a soluble trimeric molecule(2). Levels of soluble BAFF correspond with levels of autoantibodies in Sjogren’s Syndrome(11).  Recombinant human BAFFR-muIg binds to recombinant BAFF-muCD8 and can inhibit binding of this molecule to receptors on Raji cells.

Molecular Structure:  A soluble molecule consisting of the extracellular (60aa) domain of human BAFFR fused  to the  murine IgG2a Fc (232 aa).  Predicted non glycosylated monomeric weight:  33.5 kd.
