摘要

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods relating to the structure of BAFF in solution. The disclosure includes BAFF 60-mers, BAFF trimers, methods of making BAFF 60-mers and BAFF trimers, antibodies that preferentially bind one form or the other, and methods of identifying or evaluating a compound on the basis of its relative binding to or activity towards a BAFF 60-mer and a BAFF trimer. The disclosure also provides computer-based systems and methods relating to BAFF structures.
