Recombinant Rabbit OX40 Ligand / TNFSF4 Protein, His Tag (active trimer) (MALS verified), 100 µg

Background
Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 4 (TNFSF4) is also known as glycoprotein Gp34, OX40 ligand (OX40L), TAX transcriptionally-activated glycoprotein 1 and CD252, which belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family. TNFSF4 is the ligand for CD134 and is expressed on such cells as DC2s (a subtype of dendritic cells) enabling amplification of Th2 cell differentiation. The interaction of TNFSF4-TNFSF4 is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), carotid artery disease and cancer. Furthermore, similar to other TNF superfamily members, membrane-bound OX40 Ligand (TNFSF4) exists as a homotrimer. Human TNFSF4 shares 46% amino acid sequence identity with its mouse counterpart.

Source
Recombinant Rabbit OX40 Ligand, His Tag (OXL-R5249) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Gln 45 - Pro 187 (Accession # O02765-1).
Predicted N-terminus: His

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 51.2 kDa. The protein migrates as 50-60 kDa under non-reducing (NR) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
>90% as determined by SEC-MALS.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Reconstitution
Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions.
For best performance, we strongly recommend you to follow the reconstitution protocol provided in the CoA.

Storage
For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
No activity loss is observed after storage at:
4-8°C for 12 months in lyophilized state;
-70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

Bioactivity
Please refer to product data sheet.
