Background of OX40 Ligand/TNFSF4
OX40L is the ligand for CD134 and is expressed on such cells as DC2s enabling amplification of Th2 cell differentiation. OX40L has also been designated CD252. By analysis of an interspecific backcross, the mouse Tnfsf4 gene is mapped to chromosome 1. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, they localized the human TNFSF4 gene to 1q25, a region sharing homology of synteny with the portion of mouse chromosome 1 containing the Tnfsf4 gene. OX40L strongly inhibited the generation of IL-10-producing Tr1 cells induced by two physiologic stimuli, the inducible costimulatory ligand and immature dendritic cells. In addition, OX40L strongly inhibited IL-10 production and suppressive function of differentiated IL-10-producing Tr1 cells. Tnfsf4 underlies Ath1 in mice and that polymorphisms in its human homolog TNFSF4 increase the risk of myocardial infarction in humans.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-04-25
Answer
A: although the vials are bottled using aseptic techniques, heat-treated vials, and sterile stock solutions, they are not considered or guaranteed to be sterile. If sterile material is a must for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for OX40 Ligand ELISA kit? I performed your OX40 Ligand ELISA on serum samples. For my positive control, I received an O.D. value of 0.826, while my negative control received a value of 0.136. I obtained both of these controls from the ELISA kit, where your kit's typical data shows O.D. values much higher than my positive control and your background is lower. My samples O.D. values are around 0.225 and the highest is only 0.357. is it safe to say these samples contain OX40 Ligand even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-07-23
Answer
A: The absolute O.D. values may change according to incubation time. The more you incubate the higher the O.D. values are going to be. a point of focus should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. regarding your assay, you could extend your development time in the substrate incubation step to obtain higher O.D. values, as long as your negative controls' O.D. values are not increasing faster in relation to your positive controls. typically, a sample with O.D. value 2 standard deviations higher than your negative controls can be considered positive. We calculate the sensitivity of this ELISA kit by converting cutoff O.D. value, calculated as the average of 20 negative controls plus 2 standard deviations of the 20 negative controls, into a concentration. in other words, when we claim this OX40 Ligand ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of OX40 Ligand that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated OX40 Ligand antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the OX40 Ligand antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-07-23
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.

Question
Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human OX40 Ligand Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0857)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-05-19
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of OX40 Ligand causing disruption of its protein structure. OX40 Ligand may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes needed for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the OX40 Ligand ELISA, treating samples with various anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: how are cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
K. Roberts
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-12-22
Answer
A: for those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are present in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can have an affect on immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.
