Description
The ACT35 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD134 which is also known as OX40. The 35 kDa CD134 polypeptide is encoded by the TNFRSF4 gene. CD134 is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein and member of the tumor necrosis factor/nerve growth factor receptor (TNFR/NGFR) family. CD134 is expressed on activated T lymphocytes, hematopoietic precursor cells and fibroblasts. CD134 functions as a T cell costimulatory receptor when bound by OX40 Ligand/TNFSF4 that is expressed by antigen presenting cells. CD134 thereby plays roles in T-cell activation as well as the regulation of differentiation, proliferation or apoptosis of normal and malignant lymphoid cells. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the human TNFRSF4 cDNA reveals strong homology with the rat Tnfrsf4 cDNA sequence. OX40 was clustered as CD134 in the Sixth International Workshop on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens.
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette. BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
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 and conjugated to BD® AbSeq oligonucleotide under optimal conditions.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
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.
