Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. This preparation contains no preservatives, thus it should be handled under aseptic conditions.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

G4.18

The G4.18 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the T-cell receptor-associated CD3 cell-surface antigen found on thymocytes, peripheral T lymphocytes, and dendritic epidermal T cells. It has been reported that CD3 expression is down-regulated within 24 hours in concanavalin A-stimulated rat T cells, and soluble mAb inhibits the allogeneic mixed-lymphocyte proliferative response and cell-mediated cytotoxicity to allogeneic target cells. In vivo treatment with G4.18 mAb prevents cardiac and skin allograft rejection, resulting in donor-specific tolerance. Pre-incubation of splenocytes with the alternate anti-rat CD3 monoclonal antibody, 1F4, blocks staining with mAb G4.18.

NA/LE
NA/LE refers to the culture and purification methods and buffer used to produce purified antibodies with no azide and low endotoxin: Aqueous buffered solution containing no preservative, 0.2µm sterile filtered. Endotoxin level is ≤0.01 EU/µg (≤0.001 ng/µg) of protein as determined by the LAL assay.NA/LE are perfectly suited to be used in culture or in vivo (for nonhuman studies) for functional assays — blocking, neutralizing, activation or depletion — where the presence of azide may damage cells or exogenous endotoxin may signal or activate cells.
