Recombinant Pneumonas aeruginosa CD4 Protein without tag was produced in an animal component free process under cGMP guidelines.
Description:
This gene encodes the CD4 membrane glycoprotein of T lymphocytes. The CD4 antigen acts as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class II MHC molecules. The CD4 antigen is also a primary receptor for entry of the human immunodeficiency virus through interactions with the HIV Env gp120 subunit. This gene is expressed not only in T lymphocytes, but also in B cells, macrophages, granulocytes, as well as in various regions of the brain. The protein functions to initiate or augment the early phase of T-cell activation, and may function as an important mediator of indirect neuronal damage in infectious and immune-mediated diseases of the central nervous system. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene.
Alvircept Sudotox has been used in trials studying the treatment of HIV Infections.
Usage:
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infections.
Storage:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20 centigrade, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8 centigrade for 1 week. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20 centigrade for 3 months.
Not For Human Consumption!
