Description: The human sCD134/OX40 ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of human sCD134/OX40. The human sCD134/OX40 ELISA is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
OX40 (CD134) is a member of the tumor necrosis (TNF) receptor superfamily and known to be an important costimulatory molecule expressed on activated T-cells. Interaction of OX40 with its ligand, OX40L, is thought to be important in T cell activation through T cell/antigen-presenting cell (APC) interaction. Ligation of OX40 induces clonal expansion and survival of CD4 cells during primary responses, and results in the accumulation of greater numbers of memory cells with time.
A soluble isoform of OX40 has been described. Measurement of this molecule may have diagnostic value in polymyositis and granulomatous myopathy, in T cell lymphoma and lymphomatoid papulosis, in proliferative lupus nephritis, in rheumatoid arthritis, in HIV infection, in viral infections of the lung, in the regulation of graft-versus-host disease, in myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy.
