Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Mouse Host Species Goat Immunogen NS0-Derived Recombinant Mouse 4-1BB Extracellular Domain (Accession # P20334) Endotoxin Level <0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method Formulation This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present. State of Matter Lyophilized Storage and Handling The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2828249 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Flow Cytometry: It is recommended to use the indirect method for signal enhancement when enumerating cells expressing 4-1BB. A suggested method would be to stain cells expressing 4-1BB with 1 µg per 3.0-10.0 x 106 cells in a total staining volume of ≤200 µl followed by PN:G641. Western Blotting: To detect Mouse 4-1BB this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Mouse 4-1BB is 1 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. Additional Applications Reported In Literature ? Immunohistochemistry: Suitable for use at concentration of 1-15 µg/mL. CyTOF-ready: Ready to be labeled using established conjugation methods. No BSA or other carrier proteins that could interfere with conjugation. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionSpecificity Goat Anti-Mouse 4-1BB recognizes Mouse 4-1BB. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research. Antigen Distribution 4-1BB is expressed on activated B cells and T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. 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 anti-CD137 antibodies have been reported to stimulate a more intense immune system attack on cancers. Antigen DetailsPubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org References & Citations1.
