Overview

Product Description APC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [W3/25] recognizes CD4
This antibody recognizes the rat CD4 cell surface glycoprotein, a 55kD molecule expressed by helper T cells and weakly by monocytes. This antibody inhibits proliferation and IL-2 production in the MLR reaction.Mouse anti Rat CD4 antibody, clone W3/25 has been described reacting with paraffin-embedded material following PLP fixation (periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde) (Whiteland et al. 1995).Mouse anti Rat CD4 antibody, clone W3/25 is routinely tested in flow cytometry on rat splenocytes

Swiss-port # P05540 Rat T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4

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]
