CD4 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN2689223

Product Details anti-CD4 Antibody

Target: CD4

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD4 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Characteristics: The RM4-4 antibody reacts with the CD4 (L3T4) differentiation antigen expressed on most thymocytes, a subpopulation of mature T lymphocytes (i.e., MHC class II-restricted T cells, including most T helper cells), and a subset of NK-T cells of all mouse strains tested. CD4 has also been detected at low density on pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow myeloid and B-lymphocyte precursors, intrathymic lymphoid precursors, and a subset of splenic dendritic cells. CD4 is expressed on the plasma membrane of mouse egg cells and is involved in adhesion of the egg to MHC class II-bearing sperm. CD4 is an antigen coreceptor on the T-cell surface which interacts with MHC class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells. It participates in T-cell activation through its association with the T-cell receptor complex and protein tyrosine kinase lck. Purified RM4-4 mAb does not block binding of FITC-conjugated GK1.5 mAb (Cat. No. 557307/553729), H129.19 mAb (Cat. No. 553650/553651), or RM4-5 mAb (Cat. No. 553046/553047) to T cells. This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
