Recombinant Mouse CD40 Protein, Fc-tagged, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated

• Cat.No.: Cd40-325MAF488
• Product Overview: Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated recombinant Mouse Cd40 (NP_035741.2) (Met1-Arg193) was expressed with the Fc region of rabbit IgG at the C-terminus.

Specification

• Description: CD40, also known as TNFRSF5, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily which are single transmembrane-spanning glycoproteins. CD40 protein plays an essential role in mediating a broad variety of immune and inflammatory responses including T cell-dependent immunoglobulin class switching, memory B cell development, and germinal center formation. CD40 protein is expressed in B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and several tumor cell lines. Defects in CD40 result in hyper-IgM immunodeficiency type 3 (HIGM3). In addition, CD40/CD40L interaction is found to be necessary for amyloid-beta-induced microglial activation, and thus is thought to be an early event in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis.

Q&As

Can CD40-targeted therapies be used in the treatment of infectious diseases?

CD40 agonists have the potential to enhance immune responses against infectious agents, but their clinical use in this context is an area of ongoing research.

Are there any approved drugs targeting CD40 for clinical use?

As of my knowledge cutoff date in January 2022, there were no FDA-approved drugs specifically targeting CD40. However, clinical trials were ongoing for CD40-targeted therapies.

Can CD40-targeted therapies be used in combination with other cancer treatments?

Yes, CD40-targeted therapies are often investigated in combination with other treatments like checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy to enhance their effectiveness.

What are the potential side effects of CD40-targeted therapies in cancer treatment?

Side effects may include flu-like symptoms, cytokine release syndrome, and immune-related adverse events, which can be managed with supportive care and close monitoring.

Are there ongoing clinical trials exploring CD40-targeted therapies for atherosclerosis?

Research on CD40-targeted therapies for atherosclerosis is still in the experimental stages and not yet in advanced clinical trials.
