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: The OX-86 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: The OX-86 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of activated mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 1.0 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.
Super Bright 780 is a tandem dye that can be excited with the violet laser line (405 nm) and emits at 780 nm. We recommend using a 780/60 bandpass filter. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.
When using two or more Super Bright dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (Product # SB-4401) to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions. Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer for more information.
In some experiments, we have observed that compensation values for Super Bright 780-conjugated antibodies are higher in the violet 450/50 channel when using UltraComp eBeads microspheres (Product # 01-2222-42) as compared to single-color stained cells. In such circumstances, we would recommend setting compensation with cells. We have also observed this in some experiments using AbC Total Antibody Compensation beads (Product # A10497).
Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.
Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-8222) (100 µL of cell sample + 100 µL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.
Excitation: 405 nm; Emission: 780 nm; Laser: Violet Laser.

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.
