CD134 (OX40) Monoclonal Antibody (ACT35 (ACT-35)), Biotin, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The ACT35 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD134, also known as OX-40. A member of the TNF receptor superfamily, CD134/OX-40 is a 50 kDa type I membrane glycoprotein expressed by activated T lymphocytes. The interaction of CD134 with OX-40L has been implicated in T cell-dependent humoral response, regulation of primary T cell expansion, survival of T cells, size of the memory T cell pool and regulation of tolerance in the CD4^+ T cell compartment. Applications Reported: This ACT35 (ACT-35) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This ACT35 (ACT-35) antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5 μL (0.25 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor has been shown to activate NF-kappaB through its interaction with adaptor proteins TRAF2 and TRAF5. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this receptor promotes the expression of apoptosis inhibitors BCL2 and BCL2lL1/BCL2-XL, and thus suppresses apoptosis. The knockout studies also suggested the roles of this receptor in CD4+ T cell response, as well as in T cell-dependent B cell proliferation and differentiation.
