CD4, also known as T4, is a 55kD glycoprotein member of the immunoglobin superfamily and is expressed on majority of thymocytes, macrophages, and a peripheral T cell subset (T helper cells). CD4 is a T cell co-receptor that interacts with the MHC class II molecule and is involved in T cell activation.

- Recommended Usage
-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.25 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

- Application Notes
-
The OX-38 antibody has been shown to bind the same CD4 epitope as the W3/25 antibody, and a different epitope than the OX-35 antibody. Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats of this clone) include: immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections and blocking function1.
