Product Name:

BV510 anti-mouse CD4

Catalog Number:

I used this antibody as a compensation control for a high bandwidth flow cytometry experiment. Although, it served the purpose i needed it for, it was very clear that I would not use this antibody for staining CD4 T cells in an assay. There was quite a bit of background and the staining was all over the place. Not worth it.
