Description

The RM4-5 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD4 molecule, a 55 kDa cell surface receptor expressed by a majority of thymocytes, subpopulation of mature T cells and dendritic cells. CD4 binds to MHC class II on the surface of antigen presenting cells and plays an important role both in T cell development and in optimal functioning of mature T cells. In T cells, CD4 associates with protein tyrosine kinase p56lck through its cytoplasmic tail. Binding of RM4-5 is blocked by GK1.5.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The RM4-5 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

The RM4-5 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse thymocyte and splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 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.
