Product Details anti-CD4 Antibody

Characteristics: The OX-38 antibody has been reported to react with the CD4 antigen on most thymocytes, a subpopulation of mature T lymphocytes (i.e., MHC class II-restricted T cells, including most T helper cells), monocytes, macrophages, and some dendritic cells. 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. The OX-38 antibody has been reported to bind to the same epitope of CD4 as that recognized by W3/25 mAb, which is a different epitope than that recognized by OX-35 mAb (Cat. No. 554837). In vivo blocking of some cell-mediated immune responses by mAb OX-38 has been reported. Injection of OX-38 mAb induces allograft unresponsiveness in rats, with varying results depending on the rat strain used (high or low responder). Furthermore, in vivo depletion of CD4+ lymphocytes has been reported with this antibody. This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested during antibody development only or reported in the literature. Two-color analysis of the expression of CD4 on rat splenocytes. Lewis splenocytes were incubated simultaneously with PE-conjugated anti-rat CD3 G4.18 (Cat. No. 554833) and purified OX-38 (right panel), followed by FITC anti-mouse IgG2a R19-15 (Cat. No. 553390) monoclonal antibodies. The CD3-negative CD4-dim cells are the monocyte/macrophage population. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ flow cytometry system.
