R&D Systems™ MagCellect Rat CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit
Description
- CD4 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed predominantly on thymocytes and a subset of mature T lymphocytes
- It is a standard phenotype marker for the identification of T cell populations
- CD4 is expressed along with CD8 on double positive T cells during their development in the thymus
- Either CD4 or CD8 expression is then lost, giving rise to single positive (SP) CD4+ or CD8+ mature T cells
- CD4+ SP cells, also known as T helper cells, further differentiate into multiple subsets of CD4+ cells including Th1, Th2, Th9, Th17,Th22, Tfh, and Treg cells which regulate humoral and cellular immunity
- In human, CD4 is additionally expressed on macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, NK cells, and neurons and glial cells in the brain
- CD4 binds directly to MHC class II molecules on antigen presenting cells
- This interaction contributes to the formation of the immunological synapse which is focused around the TCR-MHC class II-antigenic peptide interaction
