Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu500 of human TNFRSF8/CD30 protein.
Background
TNFRSF8/CD30 is a type-I transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the TNFR superfamily. CD30 is synthesized as a precursor protein that undergoes extensive post-translational modification before becoming embedded in the plasma membrane as a 120-kDa transmembrane protein (1,2). The expression of CD30 is upregulated in activated T cells and may trigger costimulatory signaling pathways upon its engagement (3,4). While its expression is normally restricted to subsets of activated T cells and B cells, CD30 expression is robustly upregulated in hematologic malignancies, such as Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), and adult T-cell leukemia, thus making it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention (5,6). Research studies have suggested that in certain disease contexts, CD30 recruits TRAF2 and TRAF5 adaptor proteins to drive NF-kappa B activation, aberrant cell growth, and cytokine production (7-9). CD30 signaling is also regulated by TACE-dependent proteolytic cleavage of its ectodomain, which results in reduced CD30L-dependent activation of CD30 cells (10,11).
