Protein Concentration25µg size is bottled at 0.2mg/mL concentration. 100 µg size is supplied at a lot-specific concentration.
Storage and HandlingBriefly centrifuge the vial upon receipt. An unopened vial can be stored at 4°C for up to 2 weeks, or at -20°C or below for up to six months. The protein may be further diluted to 0.1 mg/mL using 0.22 µm-filtered PBS buffer (pH 7.4). For long-term storage, the diluted stock solution should be aliquoted and stored at ≤ –70°C to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. If additional dilution is required, carrier proteins such as FBS or BSA should be added to maintain protein stability.

Background Information


CD4 is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, composed of one Ig-like V-type and three Ig-like C2-type domains. It is expressed on helper T cells, regulatory T cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, functioning as a co-receptor for the T-cell receptor (TCR) by binding MHC class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells to enhance TCR signaling. CD4 also serves as the primary receptor for HIV-1, binding to viral gp120 to mediate viral entry. HIV-1 viral protein U (VpU) binds to the membrane-proximal region of CD4’s cytoplasmic domain, promoting its degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum and preventing surface expression, aiding viral immune evasion. CD4 plays a central role in T-cell activation and HIV infection and is a key focus in immunological and virological research.
