Description

4-1BB, also known as CD137, ILA and TNFRSF9, is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). 41BB is expressed as a disulfidelinked homodimer on activated T cells. 4-1BB is absent from naive T cells, but its expression is induced by lymphocyte activation. 4-1BB is the receptor for 4-1BB ligand/TNFSF9, which is expressed on antigen-presenting cells such as macrophages and activated B cells. 4-1BB mediated signaling pathway contributes to the proliferation, survival, and development of T cells. 4-1BB can also promote proliferation in peripheral monocytes, enhance T cell apoptosis triggered by TCR-CD3 activation, and regulate CD28 co-stimulation to promote Th1 cell responses. 41BB deficient mice show augmented T cell activation. 4-1BB and its ligand are also expressed in different human tumor tissues. 4-1BB activation by crosslinking with its ligand or agonistic antibody enhances cytotoxic T cell and NK cell mediated antitumor immunity. 4-1BB can interact with OX40 on activated T cells, forming a complex that responds to either ligand and inhibits Treg and CD8+ T cell proliferation. 4-1BB may also be involved in the development of inflammation in high fat dietinduced metabolic syndrome. The soluble form of 4-1BB circulates at elevated levels in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis.

Recombinant 4-1BB/CD137-Fc protein (SKU#FCL0100) was immobilized at 100 ng/well on a 96-well NuncMaxisorp plate for ELISA with serially diluted biotinylated anti-4-1BB/CD137 monoclonal antibody, human IgG1 (SKU#MAB1829B). Biotinylated anti-CD28 (SKU#MAB1827B) human IgG1 was used as a control to demonstrate the specificity of 4-1BB/CD137 binding under the experimental conditions. The binding curve was fit and apparent K_D was calculated for anti-4-1BB: 4-BB binding to be 51 ± 5pM.
