CD253 is a 40 kD TNF superfamily member known as TRAIL, Apo-2 ligand, and Apo-2L. TRAIL is expressed on a variety of cells, including IL-2 and IL-15 activated NK cells and activated T cells. However, it is undetectable on resting T and B cells. TRAIL has been reported to induce apoptosis in tumor and transformed cell lines by a caspase-dependent process. The N2B2 antibody has been reported to be useful for flow cytometric staining and blocking NK cell cytotoxicity in vitro.
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.
