The location and density of GPV antigen, CD4 and CD8α molecules in the liver (LI), lung (LU), small intestine (SI), and rectum (R). Geese were humanly killed 5 days post infection by viruses. The protein locations in the different tissues of GPV-infected birds were detected by IHC assay. Positive virus signals were detected, cells positive for CD4 or CD8α antigen appeared dark brown using immunohistochemical staining, and sections were counterstained with haematoxylin. Mouse polyclonal antibody against GPV was prepared by our laboratory. The dilution folds of mouse anti-duck monoclonal CD4 antibodies (AbD Serotec MCA2478) and mouse anti-goose monoclonal CD8α (provided by our laboratory) antibodies were 1:100, respectively. Incubation with goat anti-mouse or goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody was performed according to the protocols of the immunoassay kit.

Antibody Quality and Performance Guarantee
| Mouse anti Duck CD4 antibody, clone Du CD4-2 recognizes Pekin duck CD4, shown to be expressed by thymocytes, splenocytes and peripheral lymphoid cells. Most avian immune research has been carried out on chickens, relatively little is known about the immune system of ducks, though there is a resemblance between the main lymphoid organs, the spleen, thymus and bursa of Fabricius. At the cellular level, like mammalian T cells, duck lymphocytes are responsive to phytohaemagglutinin, and all cells reacting with clone Du CD4-2 have been identified as CD3+ T cells (Kothlow et al. 2005). Clone Du CD4-2 can be used to identify duck T helper cells. Mouse anti Duck CD4 antibody, clone Du CD4-2 does not appear to react with Mallard. |
