R-PLEX Human BAFF Antibody Set Overview
The R-PLEX Human BAFF Antibody Set includes a matched capture and detection antibody pair and calibrator for the quick and easy measurement of BAFF in biological samples. R-PLEX products leverage MSD’s electrochemiluminescence technology for better sensitivity and a larger dynamic range than traditional ELISAs. R-PLEX matched antibody sets enable the development of singleplex and multiplex immunoassays. Individual assays may be developed using MSD avidin- or streptavidin-coated plates. Custom multiplex assays with any combination of R-PLEX analytes, as well as R-PLEX and U-PLEX analytes, can be developed on U-PLEX MULTI-SPOT plates.

BAFF Analyte

Description - B-cell Activating Factor (BAFF, TNFSF13B, BLyS, CD257) binds to its cognate receptor BAFF-R, and to both TNFRSF13B (TACI) and TNFRSF17 (BCMA). BAFF is a poten B-cell activator and is important in their proliferation and differentiation. Insufficient levels lead to immunodeficiency. Excessive levels can result in autoimmune disorders, so BAFF is a target for antibody therapy. BAFF may also be considered a metabokine because of its linkage between metabolic disorders and the immune system.
