    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.

      Question

      Thank you for your advices. Actually, as the whole blood staining could induce some artefacts, we have performed some additional controls in those experiments :

      We have used the antibody directly in the blood (before fixation and lysis) at a 1/10 dilution with a 2h RT incubation. This was performed to be sure that the PFA does not alter some important epitope. In parallel, we have done experiments were the antibody incubation was performed after fixation and red blood cell lysis.

      No staining was observed in all situations.

      Also, please note that we have used the same protocol for experiment with cynomologus monkeys in a context of a preclinical study and the antibody worked perfectly well in the very same conditions.

      For all those reasons, we believed that the antibody did not work probably because of lack of cross-reactivity to the mouse/rat orthologue.

      Answer

      Thank you so much for the additional information.
      Yes, this probably explains why you did not get any signal with mouse and rat samples, but got signal with monkey.
      Thank you so much for submitting your reviews!

      Answer

      Thank you for submitting your Abreviews for ab18282. As you may have noticed, your reviews has now been published on our website.
      Since you obtained poor results using the antibody in the untested species (mouse and rat), we would like to follow up on this to see if we can possibly improve the results you are seeing with this antibody.
      Based on the information in your review, I feel that altering the following step in your protocol may help improve your results:
      - longer incubation time with the primary antibody
      - using more antibody
      However, alternatively, this could also mean that the crossreactivity with mouse and rat is poor due to low homology.
      If you decide to follow these suggestions, please let me know if they are helpful.
      I wish you good luck with your research.
