CD137, a costimulatory factor of TNFR family, is expressed on activated T cells and freshly isolated mouse dendritic cells (DCs). To date, there are only limited data dealing with the expression and the effect of CD137 on human DCs. We report in this work that CD137 can coexpress with CD137L on immature peripheral blood-derived human DCs (9.77%). The mature DCs stimulated by LPS showed a much higher level of CD137 expression (36.06%). Ligation of CD137 on the surface of DCs with anti-CD137 monoclonal antibody (mAb) could enhance the direct anti-tumor effect mediated by human DCs in vitro. The agonistic anti-CD137 mAb was able to elevate by about 20% of the DC-mediated inhibition of tumor growth in five tumor cell lines. These results indicate that the appliance of anti-CD137 mAb might be used as a new strategy for tumor immunotherapy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D015703 Antigens, CD Differentiation antigens residing on mammalian leukocytes. CD stands for cluster of differentiation, which refers to groups of monoclonal antibodies that show similar reactivity with certain subpopulations of antigens of a particular lineage or differentiation stage. The subpopulations of antigens are also known by the same CD designation.

D048069 Tumor Necrosis Factors A family of proteins that were originally identified by their ability to cause NECROSIS of NEOPLASMS. Their necrotic effect on cells is mediated through TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTORS which induce APOPTOSIS.

D053261 Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily, Member 9 A member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily that is specific for 4-1BB LIGAND. It is found in a variety of immune cell types including activated T-LYMPHOCYTES; NATURAL KILLER CELLS; and DENDRITIC CELLS. Activation of the receptor on T-LYMPHOCYTES plays a role in their expansion, production of cytokines and survival. Signaling by the activated receptor occurs through its association with TNF RECEPTOR-ASSOCIATED FACTORS. 4-1BB Receptors,Antigens, CD137,CD137 Antigens,4-1BB Receptor,CD137 Antigen,TNFRSF9 Receptor,4 1BB Receptor,4 1BB Receptors,Antigen, CD137,Receptor, 4-1BB,Receptor, TNFRSF9,Receptors, 4-1BB
D053330 4-1BB Ligand A membrane bound member of the TNF superfamily that is expressed on activated B-LYMPHOCYTES; MACROPHAGES; and DENDRITIC CELLS. The ligand is specific for the 4-1BB RECEPTOR and may play a role in inducing the proliferation of activated peripheral blood T-LYMPHOCYTES.
