CD123<br />

Clone BR4MS New!<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL liquid NCL-L-CD123 P (HIER)<br />

The CD123 antigen is also known as the alpha subunit of the human<br />

interleukin-3 receptor. It is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and is a<br />

member of the cytokine receptor superfamily. CD123 forms a heterodimer<br />

with CD131 (the beta subunit of the interleukin-3 receptor) to form the<br />

interleukin-3 receptor, where the cytokine specificity is provided by the<br />

alpha subunit and the signal transduction function is provided by the beta<br />

subunit. The interleukin-3 receptor is reported to be expressed on<br />

monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, megakaryocytes,<br />

proliferation and differentiation of these cells. Outside the hematopoietic<br />

system CD123 is reported to be expressed in Leydig cells of the testis, some<br />

endothelial cells, and cells of the placenta and brain.<br />

CD134 (OX40)<br />

Clone 102H6<br />

1 mL lyophilized NCL-CD134 F P (HIER)<br />

The CD134 molecule is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor<br />

superfamily. It was originally named MRC OX40 after the first antibody which<br />

led to its discovery. CD134 protein binds to OX40 ligand and is expressed<br />

specifically on activated T lymphocytes with maximum expression determined<br />

at twenty four hours post stimulus. In rats, CD134 protein is only<br />

expressed on activated CD4 positive T lymphocytes and in humans it is<br />

described as being found predominantly on CD4 positive cells. In mice,<br />

CD134 protein is expressed on both activated CD4 positive and CD4 positive/<br />

CD8 positive cells. The OX40 ligand binds CD134 protein on T cells and costimulates<br />

proliferation. Crosslinking of CD134 with OX40 ligand on activated<br />

B cells stimulates proliferation and antibody production suggesting a role in<br />

B cell differentiation into plasma cells. Functionally, the CD134 molecule is<br />

involved in T cell co-stimulation and T cell dependent antibody production.<br />

CD137<br />

Clone S16<br />

1 mL lyophilized NCL-CD137 P (HIER)<br />

CD137 antigen, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, and<br />

its ligand are reported to be expressed on activated T lymphocytes and on<br />

antigen-presenting cells, respectively. This receptor/ligand system<br />

regulates the activation, proliferation and survival of T and B lymphocytes<br />

and monocytes through bidirectional signal transduction. Human CD137<br />

antigen is reported to be expressed on activated B cells, Reed Sternberg<br />

cells and peripheral blood monocytes but is absent from resting T cells. In<br />

nonlymphoid cells, expression has been reported in blood vessel walls, on<br />

the endothelial layer and on vascular smooth muscle cells. Soluble forms of<br />

CD137 are reported at increased levels in sera of individuals with<br />

rheumatoid arthritis. The expression of soluble CD137 lags behind that of<br />

membrane bound CD137 by approximately 24 hours and it has been<br />

proposed that as activation of lymphocytes through membrane-bound CD137<br />

delivers a potent stimulatory signal then soluble CD137 may provide a<br />

negative control mechanism for immune responses.<br />
