The GK1.5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the mouse CD4 (L3T4) differentiation antigen. CD4 is expressed on most thymocytes, a
subpopulation of mature T lymphocytes (i.e., MHC class II-restricted T cells, including most T helper cells), and a subset of NK-T cells. In
addition, CD4 has also been reported to be detectable on pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow myeliod and B-lymphocyte
precursors, intrathymic lymphoid precursors, and a subset of splenic dendritic cells. CD4 has also been reported to be expressed on the plasma
membrane of mouse egg cells and is involved in adhesion of the egg to MHC class II-bearing sperm. CD4 is an antigen coreceptor on the
T-cell surface which interacts with MHC class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells. It participates in T-cell activation through its
association with the T-cell receptor complex and protein tyrosine kinase lck. GK1.5 mAb reportedly blocks binding of the RM4-5 (Cat. No.
553046/553047) and H129.19 (Cat. No. 553650/553651), but not RM4-4 (Cat. No. 553055) antibodies.

注意事项:
1.This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 X 10e6 cells in a 100-μl experimental sample (a test).
2.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
3.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.
4.Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
5.The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed.
