Description

CD4 is a 55 kD protein also known as L3T4 or T4. It is a member of the Ig superfamily, primarily expressed on most thymocytes, a subset of T cells, and weakly on macrophages and dendritic cells. It acts as a coreceptor with the TCR during T cell activation and thymic differentiation by binding MHC class II and associating with the protein tyrosin kinase, lck.

Product Details

Verified Reactivity

Mouse

Antibody Type

Monoclonal

Host Species

Rat

Immunogen

Mouse CTL clone V4

Formulation

Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide

Preparation

The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with Spark NIR™ 685 under optimal conditions.

Concentration

0.5 mg/mL

Storage & Handling

The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Application

FC - Quality tested

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.5 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Spark NIR™ 685 has a maximum excitation of 665 nm and a maximum emission of 685 nm.

Excitation Laser

Red Laser (633 nm)

Application Notes

Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: blocking of CD4⁺ T cell activation^1,4,11, thymocyte costimulation³, in vitro and in vivo depletion^2,5-8, blocking of egg-sperm cell adhesion^1,4, immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections^9,10, immunoprecipitation^1,2, and spatial biology (IBEX)^12,13. The GK1.5 antibody is able to block CD4 mediated cell adhesion and T cell activation. Binding of GK1.5 antibody to CD4 T cells can be blocked by RM4-5 antibody, but not RM4-4 antibody. For in vivo studies or highly sensitive assays, we recommend Ultra-LEAF™ purified antibody (Cat. No. 100442) with a lower endotoxin limit than standard LEAF™ purified antibodies (Endotoxin < 0.01 EU/µg).

I am unable to see expression of T cell markers such as CD3 and CD4 post activation.: TCR-CD3 complexes on the T-lymphocyte surface are rapidly downregulated upon activation with peptide-MHC complex, superantigen or cross-linking with anti-TCR or anti-CD3 antibodies. PMA/Ionomycin treatment has been shown to downregulate surface CD4 expression. Receptor downregulation is a common biological phenomenon and so make sure that your stimulation treatment is not causing it in your sample type.
