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.
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. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
3. 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.
4. 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.
