Description
The L106 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD134 which is also known as OX40, OX40L receptor or TAX transcriptionally-activated glycoprotein 1 receptor (TXGP1L). CD134 is a ~48 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by TNFRSF4 (TNF receptor superfamily member 4) and belongs to the TNF/NGF receptor family. By sequence analysis, CD134 is related to the antigen recognized by the rat monoclonal antibody Ox 40. The CD134 antigen (Human Ox 40) is found on activated peripheral CD4+ T lymphocytes and a subset of activated CD8+ T lymphocytes. It is not expressed on CD3-activated purified CD8+ T lymphocytes. It is also present on HUT-102, an HTLV- 1-infected T-lymphocyte line. Its ligand, gp34 (CD252 or Ox 40 Ligand encoded by TNFSF4), is found on some antigen presenting cells including B cells and dendritic cells as well as Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-transformed B lymphocytes. Preliminary evidence suggests a possible role for CD134 antigen in graft rejection.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon BUV496 under optimal conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.
1. This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
2. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
3. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
4. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
5. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
