Label: FITC,R-PE,Cy5.
Background: The CD3 epitope is expressed on the epsilon chain of the CD3/T cell antigen receptor (TcR) complex. CD3 is present on 65-85% of thymocytes and has a mitogenic effect on peripheral blood T cells. CD3 indentifies human T cells expressing the 22-28,000 M.W. surface antigen. CD4 identifies human helper/inducer T cells expressing the 60,000 M. W. surface antigen (HLA class II reactive). CD4 is present in low density on monocytes. Identification of CD8 on human cytotoxic/ suppressor T cells expressing the 32 and 43,000 M.W. surface antigens.
Immunogen: CD4=Derived from the hybridization of mouse NS-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with human perherial blood T lymphocytes. CD3=Derived from the hybridization of mouse NS-1 myeloma celss with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with human thymocytes. CD8=Derived from the hybridization of mouse NS-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with human perherial blood T lymphocytes.
Purification Method: Affinity Chromatography.
