Preparation And Storage
Store vials at 2°C to 8°C. Conjugated forms should not be frozen. Protect from exposure to light. Each reagent is stable until the expiration date shown on the bottle label when stored as directed.
The CD4 antibody, clone SK3, is derived from the hybridization of mouse NS-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with human peripheral blood T lymphocytes. The CD4 antibody recognizes a 55-kilodalton (kDa) glycoprotein that is present on T-helper/inducer lymphocytes and monocytes.
