Abstract excerpt
Cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) is the accessory protein non-covalently bounded to T cell receptor (TCR) that recognize an invariant region of MHC class II on antigen presenting cell (APC). Its cytoplasmic tail, physically associated with a protein tyrosine kinase, is important in the activation of helper/inducer T (TH) lymphocytes. The anti-bovine CD4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) CC8 is a clone usefully used in...
