Anti-Mouse RANKL In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin (IK22/5)

Ultra-Low Endotoxin, anti-mouse

Rat IgG2a Kappa

RANKL (Receptor Activator for Nuclear Factor κ B Ligand), also known as TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE), osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL), and ODF (osteoclast differentiation factor), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor family cytokine. RANKL is essential for osteoclast formation, activation, and survival. RANKL through interaction with its receptor RANK can modulate matrix degradation and inflammation. RANKL and RANK have essential roles in lymph node formation, establishment of the thymic microenvironment, and development of a lactating mammary gland during pregnancy. Consequently, novel drugs specifically targeting RANK, RANKL, and their signaling pathways in osteoclasts are expected to revolutionize the treatment of various ailments associated with bone loss, such as arthritis, periodontal disease, cancer metastases, and osteoporosis.

We use the IMPACT test generated by IDEXX Laboratories to guarantee our Ultra Low Endotoxin antibodies are pathogen free. Our rat antibodies are tested for: - Mycoplasma spp - Mycoplasma pulmonis - Pneumonia virus of mice - Kilham's rat virus - Toolan's H1 virus - Rat parvovirus - Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus - Rat cytomegalovirus - Sendai virus - Rat coronavirus - Sialodacryoadenitis virus - Rat minute virus - Seoul virus - Mouse adenovirus - Reovirus 3 - Rat theilovirus

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
