General description
ColorWheel® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel® antibody with any ColorWheel® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel® technology requires both ColorWheel® antibody and ColorWheel® dye for Flow Cytometry application.
We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Target description
Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 4 (UniProt: P43488; also known as OX40 Ligand, OX40L, CD252) is encoded by the Tnfsf4 (also known as Ox40l, Txgp1l) gene (Gene ID: 22164) in murine species. OX40L, a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, is a single-pass type II membrane protein that contains a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1-28), a transmembrane domain (aa 29-50), and an extracellular domain (aa 51-198). It is a co-stimulatory molecule that binds to OX40 (TNFDF4) expressed on T cells, NK cells, B cells, and NKT cells. OX40L is broadly expressed by antigen presenting cells, activated T cells, and endothelial cells. OX40-OX40L interaction plays a key role in inducing T helper cells 2 (Th2) polarization and inhibiting T regulatory cell development. This interaction is also involved in many aspects of physiological responses between T cells and lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells. OX40/OX40L interactions is reported to play a key role in the development of multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, making them attractive candidates for drug development. The absence of OX40/OX40L interactions is reported to suppress immune disease development in animal models. This interaction also plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). Mice deficient in OX40L exhibit poorly developed EAE, and OX40L transgenic mice display enhanced EAE symptoms. Blockade of OX40-OX40L interaction in arthritic mice is shown to reduce inflammation and restore tissue integrity predominantly by inhibiting inflammatory cytokine production by OX40L-expressing macrophages.
