Specifications
| Product Data | |
| Clone Name | CT-CD4 |
|---|---|
| Application | FC |
| Recommended Dilution | Flow Cytometry (See Protocols). (Reported to be useful in Immunohistochemistry on Acetone Fixed Frozen Sections). |
| Reactivity | Mouse |
| Antibody Host | Rat |
| Isotype | IgG2a |
| Clonality | Monoclonal |
| Specificity | This monoclonal antibody (mAb) recognizes Mouse CD4 (L3T4) which is expressed on the majority of thymocytes and on the MHC class II restricted subset of mature T cells including Th cells. |
| Buffer | PBS containing 0.02% Sodium Azide as preservative and EIA grade BSA as a stabilizing protein to bring total protein concentration to 4-5 mg/ml. Label: PE State: Liquid purified IgG fraction. |
| Concentration | lot specific |
| Conjugation | PE |
| Storage | Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C. DO NOT FREEZE! This antibody is photosensitive and should be protected from light. |
| Stability | Shelf life: one year from despatch. |
| Shipping | Blue Ice |
| Gene Name | CD4 antigen |
| Database Link | |
| Background | Mouse CD4 has also been reported to be present on multipotential hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow myeloid precursors, and intrathymic precursors2,3. As a coreceptor in the TCR complex, CD4 is involved in T cell activation through interaction with MHC class II on APC's and in signal transduction via protein tyrosine kinase lck1. |
| Synonyms | T-cell surface antigen T4/Leu-3 |
| Note | Protocol: FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS: 1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cell population with Lympholyte®-M cell separation medium. 2. Wash 2 times. 3. Resuspend the cells to a concentration of 2x107 cells/ml in media A. Add 50 µl of this suspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1 x 106 cells, representing 1 test). 4. To each tube, add ~1.0 µg of this Ab per 106 cells. 5. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells. 6. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4°C. (It is recommended that the tubes are protected from light, since most fluorochromes are light sensitive.) 7. Wash 2 times at 4°C. 8. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 µl ice cold media B. 9. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 µl of propidium iodide at 0.5 mg/ml in PBS. This stains dead cells by intercalating in DNA. Media: A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 5% normal serum of host species + Sodium Azide (100 µl of 2M Sodium Azide in 100 mls). B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 0.5% Bovine Serum Albumin + Sodium Azide (100 µl of 2M Sodium Azide in 100 mls). Tissue Distribution by Flow Cytometry Analysis: Mouse Strain: BALB/c Cell Concentration: 1x106 cells per test Antibody Concentration Used: 1.0 µg/106 cells Isotypic Control: PE Rat IgG2a |
