Rat anti Dog CD4 antibody (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) [Cobboldet al.1992] along with cloneCA13.1E4.
Rat anti Dog CD4 (YKIX302.9) has been demonstrated to partially deplete circulating T lymphocytes when administeredin vivo, but alone was not sufficient to prolong allograft survival in a canine transplant model (Watsonet al.1993).
Uniquely amongst mammals, canine CD4 is expressed by neutrophils as well as by lymphocytes subsetsMooreet al.1992. Rat anti Canine CD4 (YKIX302.9) forms part of a panel of anti canine monoclonal antibodies used extensively in the evaluation of leukemic status in dogs (Villiers 2002).
