Description

4-1BB, also known as CD137, ILA and TNFRSF9, is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). 4-1BB 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. 4-1BB 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.

Gene Symbol: 4-1BB;CD137; ILA; TNFRSF9; CDw137; MGC2172

NCBI Gene ID: 3604

Uniprot Entry: Q07011

Construct Details: Expressed as the combination of a heavy chain (HC) containing VH from anti-human 4-1BB/CD137 mAb and CH1-3 region of human IgG1 and a light chain (LC) encoding VL from anti-4-1BB mAb and CL of human kappa light chain. Exists as a disulfide linked dimer of the HC and LC hetero-dimer under non-reducing condition.

Source: Mammalian cells stably expressing anti-4-1BB/CD137 heavy chain and light chain (in human IgG1,k format) and growing in chemical-defined media with no animal components.

M.W.: Calculated molecular mass (kDa): 147 (49 kDa for a single HC, 24.5 kDa for a single LC); Estimated by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing condition(kDa): 150

Purity: >95% judged by SDS-PAGE under reducing condition (see the gel image above, labeled as DTT "+")

Formulation: Supplied at 1.0 mg/ml in sterile PBS pH7.4 without any carrier protein or preservative (the concentration determined by UV absorption with an A280nm of 1.0 for 0.73 mg/ml of IgG and verified by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining). The purified recombinant monoclonal antibody was labeled with Biotin (3-5 Biotin per IgG) using the standard procedure.

Endotoxin Level: <0.1 EU per 1 μg of purified recombinant protein determined by the LAL method

Biological Activity: Binds human 4-1BB/CD137-Fc protein (SKU#FCL0100) with high affinity (apparent K_D < 1 nM) by a functional ELISA (see Technical Data). Recognizes cell surface 4-1BB/CD137 by flow cytometry, IHC staining and fluorescent microscopy. Mimics 4-1BB ligand-binding to induce 4-1BB/CD137 signaling activity and enhances anti-tumor immunity in vivo.

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). Biotinyalted 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: 4-1BB binding to be 51 ± 5pM.
