Overview
| Product Description | FITC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [CVS4] recognizes CD4 Mouse anti Horse CD4 antibody, clone CVS4 recognizes Equine CD4, a ~58 kDa cell surface glycoprotein that is primarily expressed on a subpopulation of T lymphocytes. As in humans, equine CD4 expression is mutually exclusive with CD8 expression on mature T-cellsA study undertaken using Mouse anti Horse CD4, clone CVS4 to identify CD4 on several wild african equid species indicates that the CVS4 clone recognizes Somali wild ass (Equus asinus) but not Grévy's zebra (E. grevyi) or Hartmann's Mountain Zebra (E. zebra). |

Bioinformation
| Gene Symbol | CD4 |

| Gene Full Name | CD4 molecule |
| Background | CD4 is a membrane glycoprotein of T lymphocytes that interacts with major histocompatibility complex class II antigenes and is also a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus. This gene is expressed not only in T lymphocytes, but also in B cells, macrophages, and granulocytes. It is also expressed in specific regions of the brain. The protein functions to initiate or augment the early phase of T-cell activation, and may function as an important mediator of indirect neuronal damage in infectious and immune-mediated diseases of the central nervous system. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010] |
| Function | CD4 is an integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class II molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class II peptides are derived from extracellular proteins while class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class II presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of T-helper cells. In other cells such as macrophages or NK cells, plays a role in differentiation/activation, cytokine expression and cell migration in a TCR/LCK-independent pathway. Participates in the development of T-helper cells in the thymus and triggers the differentiation of monocytes into functional mature macrophages. [UniProt] |
