Immunogen
Purified human Granzyme B.
Specificity
Recognizes the serine protease Granzyme B, which is expressed within the granules of cytolytic lymphocytes (CTLs). Granzyme B plays a key role in the induction of apoptosis by CTLs. After delivery to the target cell Granzyme B activates the cascade of caspases that finally results in cell death. Has been reported to function as a detection reagent in ELISA assays for soluble Granzyme B in conjunction with GB11 (MCA2120) as capture reagent.
