Description
The RPA-T4 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD4, a 59 kDa cell surface receptor expressed by a majority of thymocytes, subpopulation of mature T cells (T-helper cells) and in low levels on monocytes. CD4 is a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). RPA-T4 blocks HIV binding and mixed lymphocyte reaction. The RPA-T4 antibody recognizes a different epitope than the OKT4 monoclonal antibody, and these antibodies do not cross-block binding to each other's respective epitopes.
Applications Reported
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The RPA-T4 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested
The RPA-T4 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood leukocytes. Please refer to the antibody vial for the recommended test volume to use for one million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume.
