They can be used for the dilution of serum, plasma, blood, stool or urine samples, as well as the dilution of primary and secondary antibodies. Effect Diluents, Animal-free efficiently minimize matrix effects, cross-reactions and unspecific binding in immunoassays like ELISA, Western blotting, Immunohistochemistry, protein arrays and immuno-PCR.The Effect Diluents, Animal-free are used alternatively to the standard sample or antibody dilution buffers: In ELISA for the dilution of specimen and detection antibodies. In Western Blotting for the dilution of primary and secondary antibodies. In Protein arrays for the dilution of specimen and detection antibodies. In immuno-PCR as a washing buffer.Three versions of the diluent are offered: Low, Medium and High for optimal discrimination between specific and unspecific reaction and for minimizing strong interference effects e.g., by RF (rheumatoid factors), HAMAs (human-a-mouse Abs) or by endogenous components that bind and mask the analyte.Composition & Properties The Effect Diluents, Animal free contain no animal components and are free of phosphates.Working Procedure 1.Mix thoroughly prior to use. 2.Dilution recommendations a.Dilute antibodies according to the instruction of the antibody b.Dilution of the specimen is recommended at 1:2 or higherTips & TricksEffect Diluents must not be considered as blocking buffers. Recommended blocking buffers are: Synthetic Blocking Buffer, ELISA (cat. no. S494401), Synthetic Blocking Buffer, Blotting (cat. no. S494457) and WellChampion (cat. no. W494467) for plate blocking and stabilization (preparation of pre-coated plates). Complex sample matrices, such as serum and plasma, may contain interfering factors that affect the ability of the assay to accurately quantify the target analyte. Strong interferences are often caused by RFs and HAMAs. This matrix effect can cause high background in the negative control or false negatives in the sample measurement. To reduce this effect the samples can be diluted in the Effect Diluents, Animalfree.Handling & Storage Store solution 2-8°C or -15 to -30°C (tolerates freezing and thawing cycles)...

It is a standard Purity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description:CD4, also known as L3T4, T4, and W3/25, is an approximately 55 kDa type I 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. Mature feline CD4 consists of a 388 amino acid (aa) extracellular region containing four immunoglobulin-like domains, a 22 aa transmembrane segment, and a 40 aa cytoplasmic domain. Within the ECD, feline CD4 shares 70%, 58%, 50%, and 48% aa sequence identity with canine, human, mouse and rat CD4, respectively. 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, Th17, Tfh, and Treg cells which regulate humoral and cellular immunity. CD4 is reexpressed on circulating CD8+ T cells upon activation and contributes to their cytotoxic effector activity. In human, CD4 is additionally expressed on macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, NK cells, and neurons and glial cells in the brain. Similar CD4 distribution between species cannot be assumed as demonstrated by its presence on macrophages in human and rat but not in mouse. 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. Palmitoylation of two cysteine residues in the cytoplasmic tail of CD4 promotes the localization of CD4 in lipid rafts and its ability to augment TCR signaling via activation of the tyrosine kinase Lck. CD4 also functions as a chemotactic receptor for IL-16 and, in human, as a coreceptor for the gp120 surface glycoprotein of HIV-1...
