Human CD40L protein - Mammalian cell-expressed, tag-free, with HSA
Recombinant human CD40L is a high-quality and biologically active cytokine, validated using proprietary CD40L reporter cells. This member of the TNF superfamily is produced in E. coli and thoroughly purified to remove endotoxins.
Recombinant human CD40L can be used together with HEK-Blue™ CD40L cells for the screening of inhibitory molecules, such as Frexalimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting CD40L (see figures).
CD40L signaling and biological functions
InvivoGen also offers:
Key features
- Each lot is validated using HEK-Blue™ CD40L cells
- Endotoxin < 0.1 EU/µg
- 0.2 µm sterile-filtered
Applications
- Standard for CD40L detection and quantification assays
- Screening and release assays for antibodies blocking CD40L signaling
- Screening and release assays for engineered CD40L
CD40 Ligand (CD40L) is a protein that is primarily expressed on activated T cells and is a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily. Of note, CD40L, together with its receptor CD40, plays a pivotal role in cellular and humoral immunity.
InvivoGen’s products are for research use only, and not for clinical or veterinary use.

Details
CD40 Ligand (CD40L), also known as CD154, TRAP, or gp39, is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. It is mainly expressed in CD4+-T cells and interacts with CD40 on antigen-presenting cells to regulate both humoral and cellular immune responses [1-3].
The CD40 cytoplasmic domain binds directly to several TNF receptor-associated factors (TRAFs), and this interaction is thought to initiate CD40 signaling. CD40-mediated signaling results in NF-κB, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation. CD40L-CD40 interactions are thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases [4, 5].
