CD137L / PE / REA254

Product Details
Description Clone REA254 recognizes the CD137L antigen, a type II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the TNF superfamily, which is also known as 4-1BB ligand or tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 9. CD137L is expressed on a variety of antigen-presenting cells, including dendritic cells (DCs), B cells, and macrophages as well as on activated T Lymphocytes. CD137L cross-links its receptor, CD137, which is expressed on activated T cells, and co-stimulates T cell activities. Signaling through interaction with CD137 by soluble CD137L has been shown to cause T cell–expansion, cytokine induction, and upregulation of antiapoptotic genes, and to prevent activation-induced cell death. In monocytes, macrophages, and DCs, CD137L signaling induces activation, migration, survival, and differentiation. The role of CD137 signaling has been studied in several autoimmune processes, including rheumatoid arthritis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. | Additional information: Clone REA254 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. |

About CD137L
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This transmembrane cytokine is a bidirectional signal transducer that acts as a ligand for TNFRSF9/4-1BB, which is a costimulatory receptor molecule in T lymphocytes. This cytokine and its receptor are involved in the antigen presentation process and in the generation of cytotoxic T cells. The receptor TNFRSF9/4-1BB is absent from resting T lymphocytes but rapidly expressed upon antigenic stimulation. The ligand encoded by this gene, TNFSF9/4-1BBL, has been shown to reactivate anergic T lymphocytes in addition to promoting T lymphocyte proliferation. This cytokine has also been shown to be required for the optimal CD8 responses in CD8 T cells. This cytokine is expressed in carcinoma cell lines, and is thought to be involved in T cell-tumor cell interaction.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
About PE
Phycoerythrin (PE, R-PE) is a red-emitting fluorescent protein-chromophore complex that can be excited the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser with increasing efficiency and captured with a 586/14 nm bandpass filter. PE has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 578 nm. PE is 240kD in size and has an extinction coefficient of ~2x10^6 which makes it one of the brightest fluorophores available and a potent donor upon which to build tandem fluorophores with longer Stoke's Shifts.
