Specificity and cross reactivity
Mouse CD40, Mr 45-50 kDa CD40 is a type I cell surface protein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor superfamily of cell surface receptors. In mice it is expressed on B lineage cells, follicular dendritic cells, thymic epithelium, and interdigitating cells in the T-cell zone of secondary lymphoid organs.^1-5 CD40 first becomes detectable on a subset of small pre-B II cells in bone marrow, with the levels of CD40 expression increasing thereafter during B-cell maturation. Immature B cells (IgM^+IgD^lo B220^lo) express intermediate levels of CD40, whereas mature B cells (IgM^+IgD^hi B220^hi) express high levels.^4 CD40 has a central role in B cell growth and differentiation, and signalling through CD40 in combination with IL-4 reportedly induces immunoglobulin isotype switching and secretion of IgE.^6 The agonistic 1C10 antibody closely resembles gp39/CD40 ligand in its ability to stimulate proliferation of small, resting B lymphocytes in the absence of other cofactors.^2; Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited. This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones.

Test
Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.

About
Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies. There are less rat- than mouse clones however. Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.
