Description

The eBioG4.18 monoclonal antibody recognizes the rat CD3 protein. CD3 is a critical component of the T-cell receptor (TCR) and is a marker of the T-cell lineage. CD3 is a complex of several subunits and, upon binding of a TCR ligand, participates in transduction of signals from the TCR to the nucleus which results in a variety of cellular responses including transcription of IL-2 and clonal expansion. in vitro, immobilized G4.18 monoclonal antibody has been demonstrated to activate T cells, while soluble G4.18 inhibited allogeneic mixed-lymphocyte proliferative responses and cell-mediated cytotoxicity to allogeneic target cells. in vivo, G4.18 was demonstrated to induce long-term specific tolerance to an organ allograft.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioG4.18 (G4.18) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This eBioG4.18 (G4.18) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of rat splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
