Background: Identification of CD4 on 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 T cells suppressor/cytotoxic expressing the 32,000 M.W. alpha subunit 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.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: Protein A/G Chromatography
Concentration: Titered for flow cytometry
Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide and 0.2% carrier protein
