Specificity and cross reactivity
CD152 This item recognises mouse CD152, commonly known as CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte protein 4), a structural homolog for CD28. CD152 binds the same ligands as CD28, namely CD80 (B7.1) and CD86 (B7.2), but with much higher affinity. However, while binding of CD28 enhances T cell function, binding of CD152 inhibits it. CD152 is not detected on naïve T-cells and is induced upon T-cell activation. _x000D__x000D_In mice, lack of CD152 leads to massive lymphoproliferative disorder leading to tissue destruction and autoimmunity, suggesting a critical role for CD152 in limiting T-cell responses. CD152 has been shown to reduce IL-2 production after ligation and can inhibit T-cell expansion. This regulatory role and the high binding affinity of CD152 make it a potential therapy for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. _x000D__x000D__x000D_Clone 1B8 may be used to enhance proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokines of lymph node cells. It may also be used to enhance tumour immunity.; Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited. This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones.

Storage and shipping
Store the antibody at +4 degrees Celsius for short-term storage and at -20 degrees Celsius for long-term.Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. the antibody should be stored undiluted. Repeated freeze - thaw cycles may denature the peptide chains of the antibody and therefore should be maximally avoided. If there is a precipitate in the vial we recommend you to briefly microcentrifugate it prior to use. Shelf Life: 18 months from date of dispatch.

Tested applications
Immunoprecipitation (IP), Western Blot (WB), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), ELISA (EIA)

Description
This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided. This is against a protein of mus musculus directed antibody.

Properties
If you buy Antibodies supplied by MBS Monoclonals they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C. Armenian of Syrian hamster monoclonal IgGs are useful antibodies for double staining your IHC samples. Using mabs or monoclonal antibodies has a lot of advantages for Flow cytometry.
-
Test
Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
