Validation:

Recombinant Protein Test (Figure 3): Anti-BAFF antibodies (2221) detected human BAFF recombinant protein at different concentrations.

Regulated expression validation (Figure 6-8): BAFF expression detected by anit-BAFF antibodies (2221) was up-regulated  in patients with myloma or Graves’ disease or in murine transplanted heart.

Isoforms:
Human BAFF has 3 isoforms, including isoform 1 (285aa, 31kD), isoform 2 (266aa, 29kD) and isoform 3 (164aa, 17.6kD). Mouse BAFF has 2 isoforms, including isoform 1 (309aa, 34kD) and isoform 2 (290aa, 32kD). Rat BAFF has only one isoform (274aa, 30kD). 2221 can detect two longer human isoforms, mouse and rat.

Background:
BAFF Antibody: Members in the TNF superfamily regulate immune responses and induce apoptosis. A novel member in the TNF family was recently identified by several groups and designated BAFF (for B cell Activating Factor belonging to the TNF Family), BLyS (for B Lymphocyte Stimulator), TALL-1 (for TNF- and ApoL-related Leukocyte-expressed Ligand), and THANK (for TNF Homologue that Activate Apoptosis, NF-κB and c-jun N-terminal Kinase). BAFF/BLyS was characterized as a B cell activator since it induced B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. Three receptors for BAFF were recently identified and designated TACI, BCMA and BAFF-R. BAFF and its receptors are essential for B cell development, survival, and humoral immune responses. BAFF is involved in the development of autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythaematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
