Mouse anti Cat CD134

Description:

Mouse anti cat CD134 antibody, clone 7D6 recognizes feline CD134, otherwise known as OX40, a 43 kDa type I membrane protein and member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, expressed predominantly by CD4+ activated T cells, and a key regulator of T cell-dependent immune responses.

CD134 has been identified as the receptor for the OX40 ligand, CD252, expressed by activated B cells, acting as a co-stimulatory signal for the stimulation and secretion of immunoglobulins. CD134 has also been identified as a binding receptor for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), acting along with CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) to facilitate the entry of the virus into CD4+ primary target cells.
