Vector Labs Ab00587-8.4 Anti-CD4 [OX-68], Rat IgG2b, Fc Silent™, kappa (200 μg)

Quick Overview
This antibody was prepared by subcutaneously injecting BALB/c mice with a soluble form of rat CD4, consisting of domains 3 and 4. A boost of a mixture of free sCD4 and sCD4 bound to cells was administered intravenously.

Synonyms:Leu3/T4; T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4; T-cell surface antigen T4/Leu-3; W3/25 antigen
Amount:200 μg
Application Codes Clone:FC; WB; IP; SPR; binding assay
Shipping Temperature:Wet Ice
Buffer Composition:PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Original Format:IgG2a
Storage Temperature:Store at 4⁰C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20⁰C.
Chimeric Use Statement:This chimeric rat antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2a format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement:This antibody is reactive with rat CD4 domain 3 & 4, and is partly competitive with OX-67 & 69.
Application Notes:This antibody binds to rat CD4. Upon challenge with HIV-1, this antibody was able to significantly inhibit viral entry into HeLa cells expressing a mutant of rat CD4 that binds gp120 (SImon, 1997). Similarly, pre-binding of gp120 resulted in a 50% reduction in binding of this antibody, indicating epitope masking. Analogous effects on viral entry and synctium formation are observed with MAbs against human CD4.
