Description

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The OX-86 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD134, also known as OX40. A member of the TNF receptor superfamily, CD134 is a 50 kDa type I membrane glycoprotein expressed by activated mouse T lymphocytes. Rat CD134 was initially identified as an activation marker only on activated CD4+ T cells. In contrast, mouse CD134 is expressed by both activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The interaction of CD134 with CD252 (OX40 ligand) has been implicated in T cell-dependent humoral responses, regulation of primary T cell expansion, survival of T cells, size of the memory T cell pool, and regulation of tolerance in the CD4+ T cell compartment. Applications Reported: This OX-86 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This OX-86 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. PerCP-eFluor® 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm); it can be used in place of PerCP-Cyanine5.5. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter, however, the 695/40 bandpass filter is an acceptable alternative. Please make sur...

OX40 is a protein receptor found on the surface of T cells, a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system. When activated, OX40 promotes the proliferation and survival of T cells, leading to a stronger immune response against cancer cells and infectious agents. OX40 agonists, which are drugs that activate OX40, have shown promising results in preclinical and clinical studies as a potential immunotherapy for cancer. They can enhance the efficacy of other cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors, and may also have applications in autoimmune diseases and allergies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.
