General Notes
Mouse anti human CD4 antibody, clone RPA-T4 recognizes human CD4, a ~55 kDa cell surface glycoprotein, primarily expressed on a subpopulation of T lymphocytes, on peripheral blood monocytes and on tissue macrophages. Epitope mapping shows that antibodies, produced by clone RPA-T4, recognize an epitope within domain 1 of the extracellular region of the CD4 molecule.Mouse anti human CD4 antibody, clone RPA-T4 blocks gp120-CD4 interaction and inhibits syncytium formation (Piatier-Tonneau et al, 1997). The use of Mouse anti Human CD4:Low Endotoxin (MCA1267EL) is recommended for functional assays.
