Description

CD95, also known as Fas, is an approximately 45 kD type I transmembrane protein belonging to the TNFR superfamily (TNFRSF6). The expression of CD95 has been described in various organs, such as  thymus, spleen, liver, heart, lung and ovary. Upon ligand (FasL) binding, CD95 forms the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) intracellularly and induce apoptosis of the cell. CD95-induced apoptosis plays important roles in development, as well as in maintining peripheral tolerance of the immune system.

Formulation

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.25 microg per million cells in 100 microL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
