Application Notes

The antibody has good binding affinity for Con A-activated T cells and has an immunosuppressive activity towards lymphocyte proliferation in the in vitro mixed lymphocyte reaction. The binding of antibody to surface expressed 4-1BB molecule was assessed using flow cytometry and ELISA was used to check whether the cell culture had binding affinity to 4-1BB (Kim et al., 1995). The interaction of this antibody with CD137 is reported to induce an increase in TNF-α production by monocytes. This antibody competes with mAb M121 for binding to CD137 (PMID: 10607752). This antiboy also induces the production of IFN-γ in NK cells in presence of IL-15 (PMID: 20008791).This antibody can be used in blocking assays and staining methods (PMID: 14746806). Humanized versions of this antibody (Hz4B4-1) and (Hz4B4-2) showed a 1.5 fold and 7.3 fold increase and in binding affinity for 4-1BB as compared to their parental mouse antibody. Additionally, H4B4 mediated antibody-dependent cellular toxicity of activated human peripheral blood T cells and CEM cells in a dose dependent manner (PMID: 11186149). Humanized version of this antibody is available on request.

Short Description

This reformatted mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
