Description:
Rat anti dog CD4 antibody, clone YKIX302.9, is a monoclonal antibody specific for the canine CD4 cell surface antigen. Clone YKIX302.9 was clustered at the first Canine Leukocyte Antigen Workshop (CLAW) along with clone CA13.1E4.
Rat anti dog CD4 antibody, clone YKIX302.9 partially depletes circulating T lymphocytes when administered in vivo, but alone is not sufficient to prolong allograft survival in a canine transplant model.
Uniquely amongst mammals, canine CD4 is expressed by neutrophils as well as by lymphocyte subsets.
