Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human CD134/OX40, different from the related mouse sequence by ten amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 50 kDa; calculated MW: 29341 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 4; Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 4. Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 4, also known as ACT35 or CD134, is a cell surface glycoprotein that was discovered through the production of a monoclonal antibody raised against the HUT-102 cell line. It belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. CD134 was mapped to 1p36 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. CD134 is the primary receptor for feline immunodeficiency virus. And CD134 expression can promote viral binding and renders cells permissive for viral entry, productive infection, and syncytium formation. Stimulating the receptor can improve the response to a powerful virus vector and may be useful in vaccine development. Functional note: Receptor for TNFSF4/OX40L/GP34. Is a costimulatory molecule implicated in long-term T-cell immunity. . Reported localization: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
