Related Product Information for anti-CTLA4 antibody
The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), also known as CD152, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed by activated T cells and transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells (1,2). Both it and the homologous T-cell co-stimulatory protein CD28 bind to CD80 (B7-H1) and CD86 (B7-H2) on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) (3). Mutations in the CTLA-4 gene have been implicated in multiple autoimmune diseases (4). CTLA-4 also functions as an immune checkpoint protein, and anti- CTLA-4 antibodies have been successfully used in the treatment of cancer (5).

Product Notes
The CTLA4 ctla4 (Catalog #
AAA10982) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CTLA-4 Antibody [1E6] reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CTLA-4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin, Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunofluorescence (IF). Western blot at 0.125 - 0.25 mug/mL. Immunohistochemistry starting at 5 mug/mL. Immunofluorescence start at 20 mug/mL. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CTLA4 ctla4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"CTLA-4, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
