Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. Product Preparation Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates. Storage and Handling Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Background 4-1BB (CD137) is a 39 kD transmembrane protein that is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family and is a co-stimulatory molecule that plays a role in T-cell-mediated proliferative response. When binding its ligand, CD137 provides costimulatory signals to both CD4 and CD8 T cells via the activation of NF-B, c-Jun and p38 downstream pathways. Crosslinking of CD137 boosts T cell proliferation, IL-2 secretion, survival and cytolytic activity. Furthermore, it can increase immune activity to eliminate tumors in mice. Agonistic 4-1BB antibodies have been reported to stimulate a more intense immune system attack on cancers. Antigen Distribution 4-1BB is expressed on activated B cells and T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells.

Clone 3H3 is used in in vivo mouse studies primarily as an agonistic monoclonal antibody targeting CD137 (4-1BB). This antibody is known for its strong agonistic activity on CD137, which plays a role in immune system modulation. In studies, 3H3 has been shown to:
Clone 3H3 is also sold as an in vivo grade recombinant anti-mouse CD137 antibody, suitable for use in in vivo mouse studies. In contrast, a different clone named 3H3 is used for targeting sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) in research, primarily for applications such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunoprecipitation. However, the context of the query indicates that the focus is on the CD137-targeting clone. The correct storage temperature for the sterile packaged clone 3H3 antibody (for example, Sigma Aldrich product MABN1813, anti-sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3, clone 3H3) should follow the manufacturer's instructions. According to the product listing, this antibody is shipped at ambient temperature, but the detailed recommended storage temperature is not explicitly given in the search results. For most purified monoclonal antibodies (including sterile packaged antibodies), standard practice is to store them at 2–8?°C (refrigerated) for short- to medium-term storage to maintain stability, unless otherwise specified in the product data sheet. Certain antibodies may tolerate storage at ambient temperature for shipping, but long-term storage is almost always recommended at refrigeration temperatures to maintain integrity. If the product datasheet is unavailable, or if you are using a different supplier or different clone, the best practice is:
For all sterile supplies, including sterile packaged antibodies, facility guidelines (e.g., The Joint Commission, ASHRAE, NFPA 99) emphasize storing supplies in a clean, well-ventilated area, protected from temperature and humidity extremes, and following the manufacturer's instructions for storage. If you have the product label or datasheet, verify the specific storage requirements recommended by the manufacturer, as this detail will always take precedence over general guidelines. Other commonly used antibodies and proteins studied alongside 3H3 (an agonistic anti-4-1BB/CD137 antibody) in the literature include LOB12.3 (another anti-4-1BB antibody), PD-1, and TIGIT, particularly in immunological studies exploring co-stimulatory and checkpoint pathways. Key examples from the literature:
Less commonly, studies may use other antibodies related to checkpoint molecules (e.g., anti-CTLA-4), and proteins such as agonists or cytokines in combination or comparative settings, but LOB12.3 and checkpoint markers (PD-1, TIGIT) are the most consistently referenced in conjunction with 3H3 in published research.
