CD4 Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

CD4 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on approximately 70% of thymocytes, 10% of spleen cells, and 45% of peripheral blood lymphocytes but less than 1% of bursal cells. The monoclonal antibody CT-4 inhibits both PHA- and Con A-induced proliferative responses of splenocytes and PWM-induced IL-2 production. This antibody also reacts with turkey and quail as demonstrated by flow cytometry.

Small volumes of anti-CD4 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS679369 is an antibody targeting CD4. Also known as Mouse Anti-Chicken CD4-SPRD. Reactive in Chicken, Turkey, Quail, Pigeon. Host: Mouse.
