4-1BBL/TNFSF9 蛋白, Human

4-1BBL (4-1BB ligand) is a type II membrane protein of the TNF superfamily, is expressed on antigen-presenting cells. 4-1BB with 4-1BBL can induce T-cell expansion, cytokine induction, differentiation, and upregulation of anti-apoptotic genes as well as protect T cells from activation-induced cell death (AICD)^[1]. 4-1BBL stimulates T cell proliferation and induces effective anti-tumor immune responses^[3]. 4-1BBL is an immunostimulant molecule that interacts with the 4-1BB high-affinity receptor during the antigen presentation, providing costimulatory signals to both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells through the activation of NF-kB, c-Jun, and p38 downstream pathways, triggering pleiotropic effects on the immune system^[4]. 4-1BBL/TNFSF9 Protein, Human is a recombinant protein consisting of 184 amino acids (R71-E254) and is produced in E. coli.

4-1BBL 在多种抗原呈递细胞 (APC) 上表达，包括活化的 B 细胞、树突状细胞、巨噬细胞和骨髓细胞^[1]。
人类的氨基酸序列4-1BBL蛋白与小鼠和大鼠4-1BBL蛋白同源性较低。
4-1BBL与高亲和力的4-1BB结合，导致细胞内TRAF接头分子（TRAF1和TRAF2）的募集，然后激活NF-jB 和细胞外信号调节激酶 (ERK)、c-Jun N 末端激酶 (JNK) 和 p38 丝裂原相关蛋白 (MAP) 激酶信号级联反应。4-1BBL 与 4-1BB 的结合会在 T 细胞中产生强烈的共刺激信号，从而导致抗凋亡分子上调、细胞因子分泌和效应功能增强^[2]。
4-1BBL 是 TNF 蛋白家族的成员。4-1BBL是一种免疫刺激分子，在抗原呈递过程中与4-1BB高亲和力受体相互作用，通过激活NF-kB、c-Jun和p38下游通路向CD4+和CD8+T细胞提供共刺激信号，触发对免疫系统的多效性作用^[4]。4-1BBL 显着诱导 T 细胞增殖并增加 IL-2 和 IFN-γ^[5] 的刺激。

无菌粉末.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
