      Purified Mouse Anti-Human CD4
      Purified Mouse Anti-Human CD4
      Immunohistochemical staining of CD4+ T lymphocytes: Frozen sections of normal human tonsil was reacted with the RPA-T4 antibody. CD4+ T lymphocytes can be identified by the intense brown labeling of their cell membranes.

      Recommended Assay Procedures

      Immunohistochemistry: The RPA-T4 antibody is recommended to test for immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections. Tissue tested was human spleen and tonsil. The antibody stains CD4+ T lymphocytes and some thymocytes. The isotype control recommended for use with this antibody is purified mouse IgG1 (Cat. No. 550878). For optimal indirect immunohistochemical staining, the RPA-T4 antibody should be titrated (1:10 to 1:50 dilution) and visualized via a three-step staining procedure in combination with polyclonal, biotin conjugated anti-mouse Igs (multiple adsorbed) (Cat. No. 550337) as the secondary antibody and Streptavidin-HRP (Cat. No. 550946) together with the DAB detection system (Cat. No. 550880).

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
      3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
      4. This antibody has been developed for the immunohistochemistry application. However, a routine immunohistochemistry test is not performed on every lot. Researchers are encouraged to titrate the reagent for optimal performance.
      5. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
      6. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

      RPA-T4

      The RPA-T4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD4, a 59 kDa single-chain transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on T-helper/inducer cell populations. CD4 is also expressed on thymocyte subsets and at lower levels on monocytes and macrophages. CD4 functions as a co-receptor in MHC class II-restricted antigen-induced T cell activation and as a receptor for human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV). This antibody binds to the D1 domain (CDR1 and CDR3 epitopes) of the CD4 antigen and reacts with approximately 80% of thymocytes and 45% of peripheral blood lymphocytes. RPA-T4 is capable of blocking HIV-1, gp120, and inhibits syncytium formation.

      Purified
      Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
