Function

Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class II molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class II peptides are derived from extracellular proteins while class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class II presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of T-helper cells. In other cells such as macrophages or NK cells, plays a role in differentiation/activation, cytokine expression and cell migration in a TCR/LCK-independent pathway. Participates in the development of T-helper cells in the thymus and triggers the differentiation of monocytes into functional mature macrophages.

    Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-CD4 antibody [EPR19514] (ab183685)

    IHC image of CD4 staining in a section of frozen normal Mouse Spleen.

    The section was fixed using 10% formaldehyde in 1XPBS for 10 minutes. No antigen retrieval step was performed prior to staining. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab183685 (Rabbit monoclonal [EPR19514] to CD4) at 1/200 and Anti-CD22 antibody [OX97] ab243840 at 1μg/ml, to show the distinct staining of B cells and T cells. The section was then incubated with Goat Anti-Rat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150165 (Goat Anti-Rat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preabsorbed, (Shown in green) 1/1000) and Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) ab150080 (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor®594) (Shown in red) 1/1000) for 1 hour at room temperature. The secondary-only control insert image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    For IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antibody concentrations and incubation times.
