Anti-Mouse Vβ4 TCR Antibody (KT4)
Anti-Mouse Vβ4 TCR Antibody (KT4) is an anti-mouse Vβ4 TCR IgG2b monoclonal antibody. Anti-Mouse Vβ4 TCR Antibody (KT4) can reduce the proportion of Vβ4+ T cells without affecting their function. Anti-Mouse Vβ4 TCR Antibody (KT4) can be used for research on immunology and infection conditions such as virus infection. Anti-Mouse Vβ4 TCR Antibody (KT4) is often used in flow cytometry.

In Vivo
Anti-Mouse Vβ4 TCR Antibody (KT4) (300 μg, i.p., once every 3 days, for 10 days) reduces the proportion of Vβ4+ T cells but does not affect their function in C57BL/6 mice with a MHV68 virus injection model[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:1×105 PFU MHV68 virus injected C57BL/6 mice (6-12 weeks)[1]
-
Dosage:250 μg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.), on day 4 and day 2 before infection, on the day of infection, and once a week after infection
-
Result:Caused depletion of Vβ4+ T cells but failed to improve transplant rejection.
