Product Details anti-TCR V beta 4 Antibody (Biotin)

Characteristics: The KT4 antibody reacts with the Vβ4 T-cell Receptor (TCR) of mice having the a (e.g., C57BR, C57L, SJL, SWR), b (e.g., A, AKR, BALB/c, CBA, C3H/He, C57BL, C58, DBA/1, DBA/2), and c (e.g., RIII) haplotypes of the Tcrb gene complex. Vβ4 TCR-bearing cells are among the CD4+ autoreactive T cells which induce autoimmune thyroiditis after elimination of regulatory (CD5-bright) T-cell subsets. Plate-bound KT4 antibody activates Vβ4 TCR-bearing T cells. Two-color analysis of the expression of Vb 4 TCR on peripheral T lymphocytes. SJL lymph node cells were incubated simultaneously with biotinylated KT4 (Panel B), PE-conjugated RM4-5 (anti-mouse CD4, Cat. no. 553048/553049, both panels), and PE-conjugated 53-6.7 (anti-mouse CD8a, Cat. no. 553032/553033, both panels) monoclonal antibodies, followed by Avidin-FITC (Cat. no. 554057, both panels). Flow cytometry was performed on a FACScan™ .
