CD137 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor(TNF) receptor family. Its alternative names are tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9(TNFRSF9), 4-1BB and induced by lymphocyte activation(ILA). CD137 gene was localized to chromosome 1p36. Members of this receptor family and their structurally related ligands are important regulators of a wide variety of physiological processes and play an especially important role in the regulation of immune responses. CD137 can be expressed by activated T cells, but to a larger extent on CD8 than on CD4 T cells. The best characterized activity of CD137 is its costimulatory activity for activated T cells. Crosslinking of CD137 enhances T cell proliferation, IL-2 secretion survival and cytolytic activity. Further, it can enhance immune activity to eliminate tumors in mice.
Sample Type:Cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA)
Intended Use:For quantitative detection of mouse TNFRSF9 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
Sensitivity:<10pg/ml
Range:31.2-2000pg/ml
Specificity:Natural and recombinant mouse TNFRSF9
Test Principle:This mouse TNFRSF9 BioAssay™ ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for TNFRSF9 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TNFRSF9 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the mouse TNFRSF9 amount of sample captured in plate.
Storage and Stability:Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C. Store other components at 4°C. Stable for at least 6 months For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
