CD40 Antibody (EA-5): sc-65264

CD40 Antibody (EA-5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects CD40 in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and flow cytometry (FCM). CD40 is a crucial co-stimulatory receptor found on the surface of B cells, playing a vital role in the activation and proliferation of these immune cells in response to signals from activated T helper cells. The interaction between CD40 and CD40L is essential for initiating a cascade of intracellular signaling that leads to B cell activation, immunoglobulin class switching, and the production of antibodies, including IgE. This process is particularly important in the context of immune responses to pathogens and in the regulation of allergic reactions. Additionally, CD40 is involved in various post-translational modifications, including ubiquitination, which can influence CD40′s stability and signaling capacity. Understanding these modifications is critical, as modifications can affect the overall immune response and the development of certain diseases, including autoimmune disorders and cancers. Anti-CD40 antibody (EA-5) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying B cell biology and the mechanisms underlying immune regulation.

The preferred CD40 antibody is CD40 Antibody (H-10): sc-13128.
