CD137 Antibody, anti-mouse, APC

01MT15718

Clone 17B5-1H1 reacts with mouse CD137, also known as 4-1BB or TNFRSF9, a member of the TNFR superfamily. It is expressed on the cell surface of T cells upon activation. The interaction of CD137 with its ligand, 4-1BBL, on antigen presenting cells (APCs) delivers a bidirectional costimulatory signal. CD137 engagement is shown to be required for CD8+ T cell survival and memory formation. The monoclonal antibody 17B5 is reported to have strong antagonistic effect in in vitro functional assays.
