BV421 anti-mouse CD4

Catalog Number:

CD4 is a very common marker in lymphocyte staining panels. Since its a lineage marker, I wanted to try staining it using uncommon fluorophores, especially on the brilliant violet laser. Among all the ones tested in the BV spectrum, this performed the best. Staining was succinct, bright and highly specific. A highly recommended antibody.
