Flow cytometric analysis of APC-conjugated anti-mouse CD40 on mouse splenocytes. Murine splenocytes were stained with FITC conjugated anti-mouse CD4/CD8a (clones RM4-5 /53-6.7 respectively; Cat. No. 553046/553030) and either APC anti-CD40 (clone 3/23, Cat. No. 558695, right panel) or an APC rat IgG2a isotype control (Cat. No. 553932, left panel) and analyzed by flow cytometry. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ System and the dot plots were derived from the gated events based on light scattering characteristics of viable splenocytes.

Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.

The 3/23 clone monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD40, a 40-50 kDa glycoprotein expressed on B lymphocytes and other antigen-presenting cells. CD40 has been reported to be transiently expressed on activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and in some mouse strains, the 3/23 mAb has been reported to react with 5-10% of T lymphocytes in adult mouse, but not neonatal, spleen. CD40 plays a key role in B-cell growth and differentiation where interactions of CD40 with its ligand, CD154, are involved in the initiation, effector, and memory stages of cell-mediated immune responses. In addition, CD40 has been reported to be involved with the triggering of NK cells and NK-T cells. Ligation of CD40 with the 3/23 antibody has been reported to induce splenic B cells to express the costimulatory molecule CD86 (B7-2). In addition, although the 3/23 antibody by itself is a weak B-cell mitogen, it has been reported to synergize markedly with mitogenic anti-IgM, anti-IgD mAb or IL-4 to promote B-cell proliferation.
