Alternative names:

4-1BB Ligand;NFSF9;D137L

Description:

Recombinant human 4-1BB Ligand Protein with N-terminal mouse Fc and C-terminal 6×His tag

Background:

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This transmembrane cytokine is a bidirectional signal transducer that acts as a ligand for TNFRSF9/4-1BB, which is a costimulatory receptor molecule in T lymphocytes. This cytokine and its receptor are involved in the antigen presentation process and in the generation of cytotoxic T cells. The receptor TNFRSF9/4-1BB is absent from resting T lymphocytes but rapidly expressed upon antigenic stimulation. The ligand encoded by this gene, TNFSF9/4-1BBL, has been shown to reactivate anergic T lymphocytes in addition to promoting T lymphocyte proliferation. This cytokine has also been shown to be required for the optimal CD8 responses in CD8 T cells. This cytokine is expressed in carcinoma cell lines, and is thought to be involved in T cell-tumor cell interaction.

Molecular characterization:

mFc(Pro99-Lys330) 4-1BB Ligand(Pro52-Glu254) 6×His

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 49.8 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.The apparent molecular mass of mFc-4-1BB Ligand-His is approximately 53-70 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

N-Mouse Fc and C-6×His Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

4-1BB Ligand

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
