Applications

Show applications key

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab846 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

  • ICC/IF: Use at an assay dependent concentration.

  • IHC-P: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.(High pH- such as 9 is recommended. This antibody may be diluted to a titer of 1/25 - 1/50 in an ABC method. We suggest an incubation period of 1-2 hours at room temperature. However, depending upon the fixation conditions and the staining system employed, optimal incubation and dilutions should be determined by the user. Use peroxidase block after the primary antibody or staining will be diminished!)

    IHC-Fr: Use at an assay dependent dilution. (Use peroxidase block after the primary antibody or staining will be diminished. Post-fixation with 10% formalin after the primary antibody may improve antibody staining.)

Target

Function

Accessory protein for MHC class-II antigen/T-cell receptor interaction. May regulate T-cell activation. Induces the aggregation of lipid rafts.

Sequence similarities

Contains 3 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.

Post-translational
modifications

Palmitoylation and association with LCK contribute to the enrichment of CD4 in lipid rafts.

Cellular localization

Cell membrane. Localizes to lipid rafts. Removed from plasma membrane by HIV-1 Nef protein that increases clathrin-dependent endocytosis of this antigen to target it to lysosomal degradation. Cell surface expression is also down-modulated by HIV-1 Envelope polyprotein gp160 that interacts with, and sequesters CD4 in the endoplasmic reticulum.

ab846 staining CD4 in Human inflammatory dermatosis tissue sections by IHC-P (formaldehyde fixed paraffin embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked by 2% BSA for 30 minutes at 22°C. Antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/25 in BSA/TBS) for 14 hours at 4°C. Ab 6785 (1/800) was used as the secondary antibody
