{"product_id":"biolegend-317405","title":"Biolegend, 317405, Biotin anti-human CD4 Antibody, 25μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eCD4, also known as T4, is a 55 kD single-chain type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on most thymocytes, a subset of T cells, and monocytes\/macrophages. CD4, a member of the Ig superfamily, recognizes antigens associated with MHC class II molecules and participates in cell-cell interactions, thymic differentiation, and signal transduction. CD4 acts as a primary receptor for HIV, binding to HIV gp120. CD4 has also been shown to interact with IL-16.\u003cbr\u003e\n25μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human, Cynomolgus, Rhesus\u003cbr\u003e\nReported Reactivity: Chimpanzee\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Human peripheral T cells\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with biotin under optimal conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/ml\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: FC - Quality tested\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended 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 ≤1.0 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication Notes: The OKT4 antibody binds to the D3 domain of CD4 and does not block HIV binding. Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: immunohistochemistry of frozen sections and blocking of T cell activation. This clone was tested in-house and does not work on formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue. The Ultra-LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin \u0026lt; 0.01 EU\/µg, Azide-Free, 0.2 µm filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 317453 and 317454). In a small subset of individuals, the OKT4 clone does not bind to CD4 due to polymorphisms in CD4.9\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication References(PubMed link indicates BioLegend citation): Knapp W, et al. 1989.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biolegend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46866159304873,"sku":"317405","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/biolegend-317405","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
