IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human tonsil. Anti-CD4 (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/200 dilution (magenta) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.

Background
CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) is a glycoprotein found on the surface of immune cells such as T helper cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It is a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection by triggering your immune system to destroy viruses, bacteria, and other germs that may make you sick. CD4 is also a receptor for the HIV virus, and when the virus infects cells with CD4 surface proteins, it depletes the number of T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, and monocytes in the patient's blood.
