Characterization and application of two RANK-specific antibodies with different biological activities

Highlights • Two RANK (TNFRSF11a)-specific monoclonal antibodies are characterized. • Both recognize human and mouse RANK with high specificity and affinity. • They are distinct by affinity and interference with receptor-ligand binding. • Human Langerhans cells highly express RANK. • The agonist ant...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Two RANK (TNFRSF11a)-specific monoclonal antibodies are characterized. • Both recognize human and mouse RANK with high specificity and affinity. • They are distinct by affinity and interference with receptor-ligand binding. • Human Langerhans cells highly express RANK. • The agonist antibody stimulates intestinal microfold cells in vivo.
