Applicable Applications for CD137 protein
Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), ELISA (EIA)
Molecular Structure
A soluble 55 kd fusion protein consisting of the extracellular (186aa) domain of human CD137 (4-1BB) fused to human IgG1 Fc (4).
Transfectant Cell Line
CHO
Performance
Five x 105 cultured human Raji cells were washed and pre incubated 5 minutes with 20 mul of 250 mug/ml human IgG (to block non specific binding) after which they were incubated 45 minutes on ice with 80 mul of CD137 huIg/Biotin at 5 mug/ml. Cells were washed twice and incubated with 2 degree reagent Streptavidin/R-PE after which they were washed three times, fixed and analyzed by FACS. Cells stained positive with a mean shift of 1.2 log10 fluorescent units when compared to a buffer + SA/PE control. Binding was blocked when reagent was pre incubated with an excess of recombinant CD137L-muCD8.
Conjugation
Biotin
Production
Human CD137 Ig fusion protein was Protein A purified from (low FBS containing) tissue culture supernatant of CHO transfectants. Purity was >95% by SDS-PAGE with less than 1% Bovine Immunoglobulin. Purified fusion protein was reacted with NHS-Biotin. Unconjugated Biotin was removed from conjugate using a desalting column.
Buffer
50 mM Sodium Phosphate pH 7.5, 100 mM Potassium Chloride, 150mM NaCl, 5% Glycerol, 0.04% NaN3 (as a preservative).
Preparation and Storage
Store at 2 - 5 degree C. Freeze/Thawing is not recommended.
Product should retain activity for at least 12 months after shipping date when stored as recommended.

Related Product Information for CD137 protein
Information: Human CD137 (4-1BB) is expressed on activated T cells within 24-48 hours of activation (3). CD137 is a type I membrane protein and a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (1,2). CD137 appears to be important for T cell proliferation and survival (4). 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 (6). The interaction can also induce monocyte activation through CD137L (5). CD137 huIg fusion binds to cell surface CD137L on Raji cells in flow cytometry.

Product Notes
The CD137 tnfrsf9 (Catalog #AAA666835) is a Protein produced from CHO cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CD137(4-1BB)-huIg-Biotin reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CD137 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CD137 tnfrsf9 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CD137, Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
