Description
The 94801 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to HVEM (Herpes virus entry mediator). HVEM is also known as CD270 and LIGHT Receptor (LIGHT-R). CD270 is a type I transmembrane protein and member of the TNF Receptor superfamily. It is encoded by TNFRSF14 (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 14). CD270 is expressed on resting T cells, B cells, monocytes, and some dendritic cells. CD270 binds to homotrimeric Lymphotoxin α (LTa3/TNFβ), LIGHT (is homologous to lymphotoxins, exhibits inducible expression, and competes with HSV glycoprotein D for HVEM, a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes), CD272/BTLA, and glycoprotein D of Herpes simplex viruses HSV-1 and HSV-2. CD270-LIGHT interactions can reportedly transduce costimulatory signals for T cells.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).

3. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.

5. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
6. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
7. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
8. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
