OX40 Antibody / CD134

• Catalog Number: orb699522
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This MAb recognizes a protein of 43kDa, identified as OX40, which is also known as CD134.OX40 is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein and member of the tumor necrosis factor/nerve growth factor receptor (TNFR/NGFR) family. It is expressed on activated T lymphocytes, hematopoietic precursor cells and fibroblasts. It functions as a T cell co-stimulatory receptor when bound by OX40 Ligand / TNFSF4 that is expressed by antigen presenting cells. OX40 thereby plays roles in T-cell activation as well as the regulation of differentiation, proliferation or apoptosis of normal and malignant lymphoid cells.OX40 is upregulated at the sites of inflammation, especially in case of multiple sclerosis and psoriatic lesions.

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19000 full-length human proteins using OX40 antibody. These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the OX40/2721 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
