TNFRSF4 polyclonal antibody

Ox40 (also designated CD134 and Ox40R), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family. Ox40 is involved in coordinating CD4 T cell selection, migration and cytokine differentiation in T helper (Th)1 and Th2 cells. Ox40 is also involved in the stimulation of T cells, T cell-dependent humoral response and generation of optimal CD4+ T cell responses in vivo and in vitro. Ox40 is expressed on activated CD4+ T lymphocytes and its ligand, Ox40L, is found preferentially on activated B cells. Engagement of Ox40 with its ligand, Ox40L, delivers a strong costimulatory signal to effector T cells. Members of the TNFR superfamily are critically involved in the regulation of infections, inflammation, autoimmune diseases and tissue homeostasis.
