CST, 88179S, Rapid-Act T Cell Activation Kit (Human, Anti-CD3/CD28)

Assay Kit for studying in the research area. Storage Store at 4ºC. All components in this kit are stable for 12 months when kept in the original format and stored at 4ºC. Once reconstituted, store the Anti-human CD3 and Anti-human CD28 at -80ºC. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. Protocol Available protocols: Functional Specificity / Sensitivity Species Reactivity: Human Background T cells are activated by signaling through ITAM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif)-containing CD3 signaling chains that associate with the T cell receptor (1). Co-stimulation through CD28 on T cells provides an additional signal required for effective T cell activation (2). Antibody-based binding and aggregation of CD3 and CD28 proteins simulates the engagement of a T cell with an antigen presenting cell, and results in T cell activation.
