OX40 Ligand/TNFSF4 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
OX40 Ligand (TNFSF4) is a type II glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic tail of 23 aa and an extracellular domain of 133 aa. OX40 Ligand is a ligand for TNFRSF4 (CD134), belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. OX40 Ligand can activate OX40 and thereby functioning as a T cell co-stimulatory molecule. The OX40-OX40 Ligand interaction promotes effector T-cell survival and effectively induces memory T-cell generation, as well as enhances the helper function of Tfh for B cells, and also promotes the differentiation and maturation of DCs. OX40 Ligand/TNFSF4 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant human OX40 Ligand (Q51-L183) with N-terminal 6*His tag, which is produced in HEK293.

Biological Activity
Description
OX40 Ligand (TNFSF4) is a type II glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic tail of 23 aa and an extracellular domain of 133 aa[1]. OX40 Ligand is a ligand for TNFRSF4 (CD134), belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. OX40 Ligand can activate OX40 and thereby functioning as a T cell co-stimulatory molecule. The OX40-OX40 Ligand interaction promotes effector T-cell survival and effectively induces memory T-cell generation, as well as enhances the helper function of Tfh for B cells, and also promotes the differentiation and maturation of DCs[1][2]. OX40 Ligand/TNFSF4 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant human OX40 Ligand (Q51-L183) with N-terminal 6*His tag, which is produced in HEK293.
Background
OX40 Ligand (TNFSF4) is a type II glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic tail of 23 aa and an extracellular domain of 133 aa[1]. OX40 Ligand is expressed on antigen-presenting cells, such as B cells, dendritic cells (DCs), and macrophages, and airway smooth muscle cells[3]. OX40 Ligand is a ligand for TNFRSF4 (CD134), belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family.
OX40 Ligand can activate OX40 and thereby functioning as a T cell co-stimulatory molecule. The OX40-OX40 Ligand interaction promotes effector T-cell survival and effectively induces memory T-cell generation, as well as enhances the helper function of Tfh for B cells, and also promotes the differentiation and maturation of DCs[1][2].
Human OX40 Ligand shares <70% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat and rabbit.
The interaction between OX40 Ligand with OX40 is essential for the generation of antigen-specific memory T cells, and induces host antitumor immunity[4]. But the over-upregulation of OX40 and OX40L may induce abnormal activation of Tfh cells and excessive production of autoantibodies, which leads to autoimmune disease[1].
In Vitro
OX40 Ligand (human, 100 ng/mL, 7 days, added into DC-T cell cultures at days 0 and 4) inhibits the generation of IL-10-producing T cells induced by immature DCs and DCs treated with IL-10 and IFN-α[5].
