Description
The recombinant human 4-1BB Ligand-Fc fusion protein is a functional dimeric immunomodulator produced in HEK-293 expression systems, featuring a C-terminal human IgG1 Fc domain to enhance structural stability and receptor clustering efficiency.
As a TNF superfamily member (TNFSF9/CD137L), it activates NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways through binding to 4-1BB (CD137/TNFRSF9) on T cells, delivering critical costimulatory signals that drive T-cell proliferation, IFN-γ/IL-2 secretion, and expansion of effector memory T-cell subsets, while suppressing activation-induced cell death (AICD) via upregulation of Bcl-xL.
In cell therapy applications, this fusion protein serves as a pivotal component in ex vivo expansion systems, mimicking antigen-presenting cell (APC) costimulatory signals to significantly enhance CAR-T cell clonal expansion and persistence.
It synergizes with CD28 signaling to optimize T-cell metabolic reprogramming and boost effector functions of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), providing functional support for solid tumor immunotherapy.
The Fc domain design not only extends serum half-life but also ensures high-affinity trimeric engagement with 4-1BB receptors through spatial conformation optimization, enabling sustained signal activation.
