Product Specifications

Immunogen

R-125224 is generated by the humanization of the murine HFE7A anti-Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 antibody by grafting the CDR regions to the framework regions of the human 8E10 antibody and substituting key framework residues from the murine antibody into the 8E10 sequence. The original HFE7A was derived from a hybridoma cell line generated by the fusion of NS1 myeloma cells with splenocytes from Fas-deficient mice which had been immunized with partially purified recombinant human Fas-AIC2A chimera protein consisting of the extracellular region of human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 antigen (aa -16 to 150) and the extracellular region of the murine IL-3 receptor AIC2 (aa 3-423). The HFE7A hybridoma was selected after screening by flow cytometry for the production of antibodies with the ability to bind to the WR19L12a transformed murine T cell lymphoma cell line expressing human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 or the L5178YA1 cell line expressing murine Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95, but not to the parental WR19L or L5178Y cells.

Specificity

R-125224 binds to the extracellular portion of human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 at an eptiope consisting of the sequence RTQNTKCRCK (aa 105-114) (pmid: 11754745). Fas is a type I membrane protein which belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor/nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor superfamily. It is able to transduce apoptotic signals into the cell when bound by its ligand FasL (Fas ligand), which is primarily expressed in activated T lymphoid-myeloid lineage cells, in the eye, in reproductive organs and in some tumors. The Fas-FasL system is known to play an important role in maintaining the immune system as mice with Fas-defective lymphoproliferation (lpr) and FasL-defective generalized lymphoproliferative disease (gld) mutations develop massive lymphadenopathy and autoimmune diseases.

Background: Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95

Tumor Necrosis Family Receptor (TNFR) superfamily member Fas, also known as CD95, APO-1, and TNFRSF6, is a 40-50 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is traditionally considered a death receptor but also functions in non-apoptotic signaling (1-4). The human Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 protein is encoded by the FAS gene which contains 9 exons and is located on chromosome 10 (10q23.3-4) (1,2). The mature canonical Fas/TNFRSF6 protein isoform is 335 aa in length, which includes the signal sequence, and has a theoretical molecular weight of 37.7 kDa (1,5). The protein contains an extracellular domain (ECD) consisting of three calcium rich domains (CRDs), a transmembrane domain (TM), and an intracellular domain (ICD) comprised of a calcium-inducing domain (CID) and characteristic dead domain (DD) (1,2,5,6). The Fas protein is expressed on the plasma membrane of activated lymphocytes as a homotrimer formed via CRD1 interactions (1,2,3,6). The DD is crucial for apoptotic signaling which is triggered by the Fas receptor binding its ligand, Fas ligand (FasL) (1,2,6,7). Upon Fas-FasL interaction, the DD recruits an adapter protein Fas-associated DD (FADD) and procaspase-8, generating the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) (1-4,6-8). Formation of DISC activates caspase-8 and leads to cleavage of caspase-3, initiating a caspase-signaling cascade and cell death (1-4,6-8).

Fas-FasL-mediated apoptosis is important in immune homeostasis and removal of autoreactive T cells, autoreactive B cells, cytotoxic natural killer (NK) cells, and more (1,2,7). Dysfunction and mutations in the Fas receptor and the Fas-FasL signaling axis is associated a loss of apoptotic signaling and removal of autoreactive cells, which correlates with several autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS), and multiple sclerosis (MS) (1-4,6,7). In addition to apoptosis and cell death signaling, FasL/TNFRSF6/CD95 mediates other pathways involved in proliferation, survival, and differentiation (3,4,6,8). More specifically, Fas has been shown to activate the NF-kappaB pathway, driving innate immunity which includes IL-1beta production and functioning in host defense (3,4,6,8). Fas is also involved in adaptive immunity playing a role in co-stimulation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation as well as precocious differentiation of naive cells to effector memory T cells (3,4,6). Differentiation into effector memory T cells shows protection against autoimmunity but also limits antitumor response to a form of cancer immunotherapy called adoptive cell transfer (ACT) (3,4). The non-apoptotic roles of the Fas/TNFRSF6/CD95 receptor highlight its potential as a target for both treating autoimmune diseases and in cancer immunotherapy (3,4).
