Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

The RM134L antibody reacts with CD252 (OX-40 Ligand, OX-40L), a member of the NGF/TNF superfamily which is present on antigen-presenting cells and activated B lymphocytes. OX-40L interacts with OX-40 Antigen (CD134) found predominantly on activated T cells. This ligand-receptor pair is grouped with pairs such as CD40-CD40L and CD80- or CD86-CD28, which contribute significantly to B-cell/T-cell interaction during the immune response. The OX-40L-OX-40 interaction is reciprocally costimulatory in that both T cells and B cells are activated in cross-linking. Stimulation via OX-40 Antigen increases the proliferative and IL-2 production responses of activated T cells, while stimulation via OX-40L enhances proliferation and Ig secretion by activated B cells. The RM134L mAb stains B cells activated for four days with anti-IgM plus anti-CD40 (Clone HM40-3) antibodies. An increased binding of OX-40-Ig fusion protein to mouse splenic B cells was observed when B cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), suggesting that OX-40L expression is augmented in LPS-activated splenic B cells when compared to resting cells, but this observation could not be confirmed with the RM134L mAb. In addition, other studies with OX-40-Ig fusion protein detected OX-40L on CD4+ and CD8+ activated splenic T cells, but OX-40L was not detected on T cells with the RM134L mAb. Similar results have been reported by others. The RM134L mAb inhibits the binding of OX-40-Ig fusion protein to OX-40L transfectants and blocks the costimulatory activity of OX-40L.
