Product Summary for Human CD40 Ligand/TNFSF5 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human CD40 Ligand Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human CD40 Ligand in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human CD40 Ligand and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human CD40 Ligand showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring human CD40 Ligand.

Recovery for Human CD40 Ligand/TNFSF5 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The recovery of CD40 Ligand spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
Cell Culture Media (n=4) 102 90-114
Platelet-poor EDTA Plasma (n=5) 98 86-107
Platelet-poor Heparin Plasma (n=5) 94 86-113

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of CD40 Ligand were serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: CD40 Ligand/TNFSF5

CD40 Ligand, also known as TNFSF5, CD154, TRAP, and gp39, is a trimeric protein that is expressed in transmembrane and soluble forms. It is expressed by many immune cell types as well as by endothelial and smooth muscle cells of the vasculature. It binds to CD40 on antigen presenting cells, platelets, and endothelial and epithelial cells, leading to enhanced B cell activation and T cell dependent humoral immune responses. CD40 Ligand dysregulation contributes to immune pathology in AIDS, atherosclerosis, atherothrombosis, and restenosis.
