Mycoplasma testing: The cell line has been screened using the metabolite-based Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Biotool, #B3903) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Host Species: human
Supplied as Each vial contains ~3 X 10^6 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO.
Background
HVEM (CD270, TNFRSF14) is a human cell surface receptor in the TNF-receptor superfamily that can act as both a co-stimulatory receptor and a co-inhibitory receptor of T cells. Binding of HVEM to one of its ligands, LIGHT (CD258, TNFSF14) or LTalpha (lymphotoxin-alpha), causes a co-stimulatory signal which can activate lymphoid cells. Alternately, interaction with BTLA (CD272) or CD160 causes a co-inhibitory signal which negatively regulates T-cell immune responses. HVEM has also been shown to interact with adaptor proteins TRAF2 and TRAF5, and is critical to herpes simplex virus (HSV) cellular entry.
Application
HVEM binding molecule (such as anti-HVEM antibody) screening and profiling in a cellular context Binding studies using HVEM ligands
