Description

CD40 ligand (CD40L) expressed by activated T cells engages CD40 expressed by B cells and APCs. CD40L can provide signals to B cells that induce proliferation, immunoglobulin class switching and antibody secretion. CD40L has been used recently in Immunotherapy to activate tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes (TIL).

MultimericCD40L™ is a high-activity construct in which two trimeric CD40 ligands are artificially linked via the collagen domain of ACRP30. This construct very effectively simulates the natural membrane-assisted aggregation of CD40L in vivo. It provides a simple and equally potent alternative to [CD40L+enhancer] combinations. MultimericCD40L™ has been shown to be a potent tool for B cell expansion. It also has big potential as a growth factor for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which have been shown to be important for T cell therapy.

The CD40L (human) (multimeric) (rec.) (Animal Free) has been produced in CHO in suspension using animal-component free medium and certified CHO cells.
