TNFRSF9, CD137 Antigen, T-cell Antigen ILA

4-1BB Receptor, a member of the TNF superfamily of receptors, is mainly expressed on the surface of a variety of T cells, but also found in B cells, monocytes, and various transformed cell lines. 4-1BB Receptor binds to 4-1BBL to provide a co-stimulatory signal for T lymphocytes. Signaling by 4-1BB Receptor has been implicated in the antigen-presentation process and generation of cytotoxic T cells. The human 4-1BB Receptor gene codes for a 255 amino acid type I transmembrane protein containing a 17 amino acid N-terminal signal sequence, a 169 amino acid extracellular domain, a 27 amino acid transmembrane domain and a 42 amino acid cytoplasmic domain. Recombinant Human soluble 4-1BB Receptor is a 167 amino acid polypeptide (17.7 kDa), which contains the cysteine-rich TNFR-like extracellular domain of 4-1BB Receptor.

Approximately 17.7 kDa

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

> 97 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity is determined by its inhibitory effect of IL-8 production using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. About 90 % of inibition was seen using a concentration of 1 µg for both 4-1BB Ligand and 4-1BB Receptor.

< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 10 mM PB, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl.
