Application Notes
This clone is suitable for agonist, ICC, immune activation, FC, and IHC
2E4E4 antibody is recommended as an effective adjuvant in the development of vaccines as it was demonstrated to have strong agonistic activity against CD40 evoking 25-fold or greater proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from livestock species relative to cells incubated with an isotype control. What is more, it led to a strong nitric oxide release from bovine macrophages, enhanced expression of MHC-II by PBMCs and induced significant expression of IL-1α, IL6, IL-8, and TNF-α by PBMCs. Furthermore, this antibody was successfully utilised in the detection of bovine, caprine, ovine and swine CD40 via flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry in the spleen tissue samples.
