Description
TNFRSF17 is a member of the TNF-receptor family, known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17, also known as B cell maturation antigen (BCMA or BCM) or CD269. It is a protein encoded by TNFRSF17 gene. The receptor is expressed on the surface of B lymphocytes and plasma cells and is a marker protein of B lymphocyte maturation.The main ligands of BCMA are BAFF and APRIL. BCMA combined with BAFF could activate the classical and non-classical NF-κB and JNK signaling pathways, up-regulate the expression of anti-apoptotic protein and down-regulate the expression of pro-apoptotic protein. When BCMA binds to APRIL, the expression level of immune checkpoint is up-regulated, creating an immunosuppressed bone marrow microenvironment.
Assay Principles
This inhibitor screening Assay kit is designed to facilitate the identification and characterization of new BCMA pathway inhibitors. The assay takes advantage of our in house-developed binding of biotinylated human BCMA to immobilized human BAFF in a functional chemiluminescence assay. Briefly, we provide you with a human Biotinylated BCMA protein, a human BAFF protein, an anti-BCMA neutralizing antibody (as method verified Std.), and Streptavidin-HRP reagent.
Your experiment will include 4 simple steps:
a) Coat the plate with human BAFF.
b) Add your molecule of interest to the tests.
c) Add human BCMA-Biotin to bind the coated human BAFF.
d) Add Streptavidin-HRP followed by luminol .
Finally, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of your compound to BCMA: BAFF binding will be determined by comparing RLU readings among different experimental groups.
