This antibody recognises the rat CD4 cell surface glycoprotein, a ~55 kDa molecule expressed by helper T cells and weakly by monocytes. This antibody inhibits proliferation and IL-2 production in the MLR reaction. Mouse anti Rat CD4 antibody, clone W3/25 has been described reacting with paraffin-embedded material following PLP fixation (periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde). Mouse anti Rat CD4 antibody, clone W3/25 is routinely tested in flow cytometry on rat splenocytes.
