Key features and details | |
Cat. No. | MABL-859 |
Name | Anti-CD28 mAbs |
Clone No. | AFD- JJ316 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | CoStim, Superagonism, FC, IF, IHC |
Species Reactivity | Rat |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | Recognises rat CD28 and can trigger T-cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. |
Alternative Name | TP44; T-cell-specific surface glycoprotein CD28 |
UniProt | P31042 |
Immunogen | Made by immunizing BALB/c mice with rat CD28 cDNA-transfected A20/J cells. |
Application Notes | This antibody binds rat CD28 and can convey as a co-stimulatory signal. At 100-1000- fold higher concentration than required for co-stimulation JJ316 (unlike the clone JJ319 marketed by competitors (see Tacke et al. 1997)) can induce proliferation of all T-cell subsets without TCR engagement. |

Note on publication | Describes the in vivo and in vitro characterisation of JJ316. |
