General Notes
Rabbit anti Mouse TNFSF14 antibody, recognizes TNFSF14 also known as LIGHT, Herpes virus entry mediator and CD258. TNFSF14 is the ligand of the receptor TNFRSF14, which is the cell surface receptor that the Herpes virus uses to attach to the cell surface and to enter into the cell, it is also a ligand of lymphotoxin-ß receptor (Ware & Sedý 2011). Signaling events initiated upon binding of TNFSF14 to these receptors is cell dependent. However, the responses are often related to immune system stimulation including the production of various cytokines, adhesion molecules that control the migration and positioning of dendritic cells and lymphocytes (Skeate et al. 2020, Tang et al. 2016). TNFSF14 is primarily expressed by activated T cells, activated natural killer cells and immature dentritic cells. It is initially synthesized as a type II transmembrane protein, which can be proteolytically cleaved to release a soluble bioactive form (Ware & Sedý 2011).
