| Product description |
The G4.18 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with rat CD3, a T cell lineage marker and associated with the T cell receptor (TCR). CD3 is involved in antigen recognition, cell activation, and signal transduction and is found on subsets of NK-T, peripheral T, dendritic epidermal T, and thymocyte cells. Immobilized G4.18 antibody activates T cells in vitro and in vivo treatments of the G4.18 antibody prevents cardiac and skin allograft rejection.1) Nicolls, M. R., Aversa, G. G., Pearce, N.
