Description
This gene encodes a member of the TNF (tumor necrosis factor) receptor superfamily. The encoded protein functions in signal transduction pathways that activate inflammatory and inhibitory T-cell immune response. It binds herpes simplex virus (HSV) viral envelope glycoprotein D (gD), mediating its entry into cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Bio-activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Mouse (rm) HVEM Fc Chimera is immobilized at 100 ng/mL, 100 μL/well, the concentration of biotinylated rmBTLA Fc Chimera that produces 50% of the optimal binding response is found to be approximately 30-120 ng/mL.
Storage
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied.
1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
