          Product Specific Information

          This 4H3 monoclonal antibody recognizes human CD137 ligand, also known as 4-1BB ligand, TNFSF9, or CDw137L.

          Applications Reported: This 4H3 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

          Applications Tested: This 4H3 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.

          Excitation: 633-647 nm; Emission: 660 nm; Laser: Red Laser.

          Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

          Target Information

          CD137 ligand (CD137L) is a type II membrane protein and part of the TNF superfamily. CD137L is a co-stimulatory molecule that is expressed on antigen presenting cells (DCs, monocytes/macrophages, B cells) and is upregulated upon activation. Its receptor, CD137/4-1BB, is found on a variety of cells, including inflamed endothelial cells, where its expression enhances extravasation of CD137L expressing monocytes. Activated T cells also express CD137, and engagement with CD137L enhances T cell proliferation, IL-2 secretion, survival, and cytotoxic activity. CD137L is also expressed on a majority of B-cell lymphomas, including mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (but it is lacking on Hodgkin lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma). CD137L is also expressed in carcinoma cell lines, and is thought to be involved in T cell-tumor cell interactions.
