Description: CD137 (4-1BB), a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the cell surface of activated splenic T cells and thymocytes. The functions of CD137 in T lymphocytes include regulating activation, proliferation and apoptosis. CD137 and CD28 are costimulatory molecules of T cell activation. Costimulatory molecules are important in initiating anti-tumor immune responses. CD137 plays an important role in regulating T-cell-dependent immune responses. Expression of CD137 correlates negatively with lymphocyte proliferation and positively with the degree of activation-induced cell death caused by mitogen overstimulation. In monocytes, CD137 induces activation, promotes adherence and prolongs survival. The LOB12.3 antibody is an agonistic antibody that has been shown to stimulate 4-1BB signaling and delay tumor growthin vivowhen administered in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Immunogen: A murine CD137 human Fc fusion protein was used as the immunogen for the CD137 antibody.
Storage: Store the CD137 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
