CD4 antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN118485

This anti-CD4 antibody is a Mouse Monoclonal antibody detecting CD4 in FACS. Suitable for Human.

Quick Overview for CD4 antibody (FITC) (ABIN118485)

Target: CD4

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD4 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: RPA-T4

Product Details anti-CD4 Antibody (FITC)

Specificity: This antibody recognises CD4. Epitope mapping studies have shown that antibodies, produced by clone RPA-T4, recognise an epitope within domain 1, of the extracellular region, of the CD4 Molecule. Clone RPA-T4 has been reported to block gp120-CD4 interaction and inhibit syncytium formation. We recommend the use of SM1058LE for this purpose.

Purification: Affinity chromatography on Protein G.

Immunogen: Human PHA blasts. Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the mouse NSI myeloma cell line.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Notes: Flow Cytometry: Use 10 μL of neat antibody to label 10^6 cells or 100 μL of lysed whole peripheral blood.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for CD4

Target: CD4

Alternative Name: CD4

Background: CD4 is a single chain transmembraneous glycoprotein (59 kDa) which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD4 is present on a subset of T lymphocytes ("helper/inducer" T cells) and is also expressed at a lower level on monocytes, tissue macrophages and granulocytes. The antigen is involved in binding to MHC class II molecules. The intracellular domain of the antigen is associated with p56lck protein tyrosine kinase.Synonyms: T-cell surface antigen T4/Leu-3, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4
