CD30 Ligand/TNFSF8 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc)

CD30 Ligand is a B cell surface antigen and a ligand for CD30 (TNFRSF8), playing an inhibitory role in CD40-mediated immunoglobulin class switching^[1]. CD30 Ligand is also a a marker for Hodgkin lymphoma and related hematologic malignancies, involves in activation and functioning of the T cell-dependent immune system^[2]. CD30 ligand is expressed by T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, and a variety of normal haematopoietic cells and derived tumours. CD30 ligand exerts pleiotropic effects on normal and malignant lymphoid cells, including death, differentiation, or cell division^[3]. As for CD30 ligand in human is a type II membrane-associated glycoprotein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. CD30 Ligand/TNFSF8 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is 172 amino acids in length (Q63-D234) and is expressed in the HEK293 cells with a N-terminal hFc-tag.

CD30 Ligand (CD30L) is a B cell surface antigen and a ligand for CD30 (TNFRSF8), playing an inhibitory role in CD40-mediated immunoglobulin class switching^[1].
CD30L is a type II membrane-associated glycoprotein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family, structurally related to tumour necrosis superfamily members TNF alpha, TNF beta, and CD40^[1][3].
CD30L enhances cell proliferation of some lymphoma cell lines, while to induce cell death and reduce cell proliferation of other lymphoma cell lines to play a pathophysiologic role in Hodgkin's and some non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. CD30L also enhances release of cytokine IL-6, TNF, LT-a^[2].
CD30L exerts pleiotropic effects on normal and malignant lymphoid cells, including death, differentiation, or cell division regulation^[3].
CD30L is mainly expressed on activated T cells, B cells, macrophages and DCs, while CD30/CD30L mainly expressed on the surface of activated CD4+ T cells in the lamina propria (LP), especially at the early stage of Th17 cell differentiation. CD30L deficiency could inhibit Th17 cell differentiation and production of IL-17A in the intestinal mucosa^[4].
CD30L acts as a pro-inflammatory cytokines, is involved in the adaptive immune response in ulcerative colitis (UC), the level of which shows positive correlation with the severity of UC^[5].
