Human 4-1BBL/CD137L/TNFSF9 Gene, Full-length cDNA in Lentivector, Endotoxin-free DNA
4-1BBL (4-1BB ligand), also known as CD137L or TNFSF9, is single pass type II transmembrane protein that belongs to the TNF superfamily (TNFSF). 4-1BBL is a a bidirectional signal transducer that acts as a high affinity ligand for 4-1BB/CD137/TNFRSF9, a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). Members of the TNFRSF have been shown to play critical roles in regulating cellular activation, differentiation and apoptosis. The extracellular domain (ECD) of 4-1BBL has a jellyroll, β-sandwich tertiary structure that is similar to other TNFSF members. 4-1BBL is expressed by activated B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, activated T cells, neurons and astrocytes. A soluble active form of 4-1BBL is detected in humans, presumably generated by MMP activity. 4-1BBL may signal through both 4-1BB and itself as its cytoplasmic tail participates in reverse signaling to induce apoptosis in T cells and secretion of cytokines such as IL6 and TNFα by monocytes. 4-1BBL/4-1BB signaling is involved in the antigen presentation process and in the generation of cytotoxic T cells. 4-1BBL/4-1BB interaction also provides a co-stimulatory signal to T cells, and increases T cell proliferation and cytokines production. 4-1BBL may play a key role in T cell recall response and maintaining T cell numbers. 4-1BBL is required for the optimal CD8 responses in CD8 T cells. 4-1BBL is expressed on cancer cells, and is thought to be involved in T cell-tumor cell interaction. 4-1BBL may also play a role in interactions between T-cells and B-cells/macrophages. 4-1BBL is implicated in cancers, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases.
Gene Symbol: 4-1BBL; TNFSF9; CD137L; TNLG5A; 4-1BB-L
NCBI Gene ID: 8744
Uniprot Entry: P41273
Construct Details: Full length human 4-1BBL gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells. It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.
Vector Type: pLTC (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter and a marker, see the vector map above)
Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:
(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;
(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’
Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification. High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
