Scientific Data Images for Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Antibody
Detection of BCMA/TNFRSF17 in U266 Human Cell Line by Flow Cytometry.
U266 human myeloma cell line was stained with Goat Anti-Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF193, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # AB-108-C, open histogram), followed by Phycoerythrin-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0107).Detection of BCMA/TNFRSF17 by Immunohistochemistry
BCMA expression on MM patient samples(A) An example of flow cytometry analysis of a bone marrow (BM) sample from an MM patient is shown. Plasma cells (PC; both malignant and non-malignant) were identified by gating bone marrow on live single cells followed by using CD38 and CD45 staining as shown. Malignant PCs were evaluated for BCMA expression with fluorescence minus one, FMO, used as control. (B) Ten consecutive MM patients were analyzed for BCMA expression as in Figure 1A. BCMA median expression was 86% (red line). (C) BCMA expression (dark histogram) on 3 established multiple myeloma cell lines assessed by flow cytometer. The lighter histogram shows staining of a matched isotype control. (D) Representative immunohistochemical staining of a bone marrow biopsy specimen stained for BCMA using two commercially available antibodies, B0807-50G (brown staining, primary antibody concentration of 0.6 μg/ml, US Biological) and AF193 (magenta staining, primary antibody concentration of 2.0 μgml, R&D Systems).

Background: BCMA/TNFRSF17
BCMA, B cell maturation, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. It has been designated TNFRSF17. BCMA is a type III membrane protein containing one extracellular cysteine rich domain. Within the TNFRSF, it shares the highest homology with TACI. BCMA and TACI have both been shown to bind to APRIL and BAFF, members of the TNF ligand superfamily. BCMA expression has been found in immune organs and mature B cell lines. Although some expression has been observed at the cell surface, BCMA appears to be localized to the Golgi compartment. The binding of BCMA to APRIL or BAFF has been shown to stimulate IgM production in peripheral blood B cells and increase the survival of cultured B cells. This data suggests that BCMA may play an important role in B cell development, function and regulation. Human BCMA is a 184 amino acid (aa) protein consisting of a 54 aa extracellular domain, a 23 aa transmembrane domain, and a 107 aa intracellular domain. Mouse and human BCMA share 62% amino acid identity.
