Background
CD4 is a glycoprotein that functions as a co-receptor for the T-cell receptor (TCR) and is primarily expressed on the surface of helper T cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, consisting of four immunoglobulin domains (D1 to D4) that interact with MHC class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells. This interaction, mediated by the D1 domain of CD4, ensures that T cells recognize antigens presented by MHC II. The cytoplasmic tail of CD4 contains motifs that recruit the tyrosine kinase Lck, which amplifies T cell activation signals. Additionally, CD4 is crucial in the immune response, as it helps activate CD4+ T helper cells, which in turn stimulate other immune cells to combat infections. However, CD4 is also the primary receptor for HIV, allowing the virus to enter host T cells and cause immunodeficiency.

Western Blot
Immunohistochemistry
IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse spleen. Anti-CD4 antibody was used at 1/500 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
Immunocytochemistry
ICC shows negative staining in NIH/3T3 cells. Anti-CD4 antibody was used at 1/50 dilution and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. The cells were fixed with 100% ice-cold methanol and permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Counterstain with tubulin (Red).

Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. The cells were fixed with 4% PFA and permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Counterstain with tubulin (Red).
Immunofluorescence
IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse thymus. Anti-CD4 antibody was used at 1/500 dilution (Green) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
