CD137L Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Information: Human CD137 Ligand is a type II transmembrane protein constitutively expressed by monocytes, B cells neuroblastoma cells (1), and some activated T cells. The interaction of CD137 (4-1BB) and CD137L can supply a costimulatory signal to T cells through CD137. This costimulus seems to be more effective for CD8+ effector T cells than for CD4+ helper T cells (3). The interaction can also effect a reverse signal, inducing monocyte activation (2), or T cell inactivation and programmed death (4) through CD137L. Anti-CD137L antibody binds to CD137L present on Raji and U-937 cells, and also binds to recombinant CD137L-muCD8 in EIA. This antibody does not block the interaction between CD137 and CD137L.

Small volumes of anti-CD137L antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
