Measured by its binding ability in a ligand-receptor binding ELISA. When recombinant 4-1BB/CD137/TNFRSF9, hFc, Human is Immobilized at 1.0 µg/ml (100 µl/well), the concentration of recombinant human 4-1BB Ligand that produces 50% optimal binding response is found to be approximately 5.0-15.0 ng/ml.

Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile deionized water. The product concentration should not be less than 100 μg/ml. Before opening, centrifuge the tube to collect powder at the bottom. After adding the reconstitution buffer, avoid vortexing or pipetting for mixing.

Upon receiving, this product remains stable for up to 6 months at lower than -70°C. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended that a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

4-1BB(CD137) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family. Mature human 4-1BB consists of a 163 amino acid extracellular domain (ECD) with four TNFR cysteine‑rich repeats, a 27 aa transmembrane segment, and a 42 aa cytoplasmic domain; 4-1BB (CD137) is expressed as a disulfide-linked homodimer on various populations of activated T cell including CD4 + , CD8 + , memory CD8 + , NKT, and regulatory T cells as well as on myeloid and mast cell progenitors, dendritic cells, mast cells, and bacterially infected osteoblasts. It binds with high affinity to the transmembrane 4-1BB Ligand/TNFSF9 which is expressed on antigen presenting cells and myeloid progenitor cells. This interaction co stimulates the proliferation, activation, and/or survival of the 4-1BB expressing cell. It can also enhance the activation-induced cell death of repetitively stimulated T cells.
