Fas, also known as APO-1, CD95, and TNFRSF6, was originally identified as a cell-surface protein which binds to monoclonal antibodies that were cytolytic for various human cell lines. In the new TNF Receptor superfamily nomenclature, Fas is referred to as TNFRSF6. Human Fas cDNA encodes a 325 amino acid (aa) residue type 1 membrane protein that belongs to the TNF and NGF receptor family. Alternatively spliced cDNAs encoding multiple Fas isoforms, including a soluble form of Fas lacking the transmembrane domain, have also been identified. Fas is highly expressed in epithelial cells, hepatocytes, activated mature lymphocytes, virus-transformed lymphocytes and other tumor cells. Fas expression has also been detected in mouse thymus, liver, heart, lung, kidney and ovary. The ligand for Fas (FasL) has been identified and shown to be a member of the TNF family of type 2 membrane proteins. FasL is predominantly expressed by activated
T‑lymphocytes, NK cells, and in tissues with immune-privileged sites. Soluble FasL can be produced by proteolysis of membrane-associated Fas. Ligation of Fas by FasL or anti-Fas antibody has been shown to induce apoptotic cell death in Fas-bearing cells. Fas plays a role in the down-regulation of the immune reaction and has been shown to be a key mediator of activation-induced death of activated T lymphocytes. Fas-mediated cell death has also been shown to be important for the deletion of activated or autoreactive B lymphocytes. Besides the perforin/granzyme-based mechanism, the Fas system has been identified as the alternate pathway for CTL‑mediated cytotoxicity. FasL has also been shown to function in immunological privileged sites by killing infiltrating Fas-bearing lymphocytes and inflammatory cells.

Scientific Data Images for Human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 Antibody
Detection of Human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of Raji human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF326) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 at approximately 50 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.Human Fas / TNFRSF6 / CD95 ELISA Standard Curve
Recombinant Human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 326-FS) was serially diluted and captured by Mouse Anti-Human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB144) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF326) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998)Applications for Human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 Antibody
