CD4 Alpha antibody | MIL17
Mouse anti Porcine CD4 alpha, clone MIL17 (MCA1749GA) used for the evaluation of CD4a expression on porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells by flow cytometry.
Image caption:
T cell sub-population proliferation monitored by CFSE labeling in response to in vitro re-stimulation with H1N1 influenza. CFSE-labeled PBMC were cultured in vitro in the presence of 105EID50/ml inactivated Eng195, uninfected allantoic fluid (mock antigen), PWM or in media only. After 5 days, cells were stained with anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 monoclonal antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry for CFSE intensity. Three T cell subsets were identified on the basis of their CD4 and CD8 expression, and an example of the CFSE pattern at day 7pv in response to inactivated Eng195 in these various subsets in a pig vaccinated with the adjuvanted split vaccine is shown (A). At day 28pv, the percentage of cells proliferating (CFSELow cells) in response to media alone, mock antigen or inactivated Eng195 was determined after gating on CD4+CD8− (B), CD4+CD8+ (C) or CD4−CD8+ (D) cells. Results are expressed as the mean percentage of proliferating (CFSELow) cells ± SEM. n.s = Not statistically significant.

| Mouse anti Porcine CD4 alpha, clone MIL17 recognizes a ~55 kDa porcine homologue to the human CD4 antigen found on the surface of helper-T cells. MIL-17 was confirmed as a member of the CD4 alpha cluster at the ‘Third International Workshop on Swine Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens’ (Haverson et al. 2001). Porcine CD4 is a type 1 trans-membrane member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Pigs appear unusual amongst mammalian species as they appear to have four populations of resting T lymphocytes. In addition to the two populations of mutually exclusive CD4+/CD8- and CD4-/CD8+ lymphocytes, they also appear to have significant populations of CD4-/CD8- and CD4+/CD8+ cells. Lymphoblasts with a double positive phenotype have been described in other species but this is not the case for mature T lymphocytic calls (Saalmuller et al. 1987) Mouse anti Pig CD4 alpha, clone MIL17 stains a population of cells with characteristic lymphocyte morphology in immunohistochemistry ( |
