Recombinant VEGI Antibody / TL1A / TNFSF15 [clone TLRM1-2R] (V3785)

Description

Vascular endothelial growth inhibitor (VEGI), also known as TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A) and TNF superfamily member 15 (TNFSF15), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFSF15 gene. TL1A/VEGI is an anti-angiogenic protein. It belongs to tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, where it is member 15. It is the sole known ligand for death receptor 3, and it can also be recognized by decoy receptor 3.

TL1A/VEGI is abundantly expressed in endothelial cells, but is not expressed in either B or T cells. The expression of this protein is inducible by TNF-alpha and IL-1 alpha. This cytokine is a ligand for receptor TNFRSF25 (death receptor 3) and TNFRSF6B (decoy receptor 3). It can activate both the NF-kB and MAPK signalling pathways, and acts as an autocrine factor to induce apoptosis in endothelial cells. This cytokine is also found to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation, and thus may function as an angiogenesis inhibitor. [Wiki]

Application Notes

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the recombinant VEGI antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Immunogen

A full length human recombinant protein was used as the immunogen for this recombinant VEGI antibody.

Storage

Store the recombinant VEGI antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
