Scientific Data

Detection of Human 4‑1BB/TNFRSF9/ CD137 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of HEK293T human embryonic kidney cell line either mock transfected or transfected with human 4-1BB/TNFRSF9/ CD137-eGFP Fusion. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human 4-1BB/ TNFRSF9/CD137 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF838) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody ([catalogNumber:HAF017]]). A specific band was detected for 4-1BB/ TNFRSF9/CD137-eGFP Fusion at approximately 50-65 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

4‑1BB/TNFRSF9/CD137 in Human Tonsil. 4-1BB/TNFRSF9/CD137 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human tonsil using Goat Anti-Human 4-1BB/TNFRSF9/CD137 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF838) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to lymphocytes.

Detection of 4‑1BB/TNFRSF9/CD137 in PHA-treated Human T Cells by Flow Cytometry. Human T cells were treated for 48 hours with 5 µg/mL PHA then stained with Goat Anti-Human 4-1BB/TNFRSF9/ CD137 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF838) followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0108) and PE-conjugated anti-human CD3 (Catalog # FAB100P). Quad marker was set based on control antibody (Catalog # AB-108-C) staining.

Background: 4-1BB/TNFRSF9/CD137
4-1BB is an inducible T cell surface protein belonging to the TNF receptor superfamily. It is alternatively known as TNFRSF9, CD137, and ILA. The 255 amino acid human 4-1BB is a type I transmembrane protein having in its extracellular domain four of the cysteine-rich motifs that are characteristic of the TNF receptor superfamily. The 30 kDa glycoprotein exists both as a monomer and as a dimer on T cells. The human and mouse proteins share 60% amino acid identity. 4-1BB is absent from naive T cells, but it is upregulated and continually expressed following T cell activation. The natural ligand, 4-1BBL, is a member of the TNF superfamily and is expressed on activated antigen presenting cells including dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. Cross-linking of 4-1BB by 4-1BBL or by agonistic antibodies transmits a potent co-stimulatory signal that enhances the effect of other activating signals such as PHA or anti-CD3 antibodies. 4-1BB signals through the
TFAF2‑NIK pathway resulting in activation of NF-kappa B and ultimately promoting proliferation and survival of T cells.
