Validations
CD28 Antibody (FITC), Rabbit MAb, Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of Human CD28 expression on human whole blood lymphocytes. Cells were stained with FITC-conjugated anti-Human CD28. The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes.

Background
CD28 (Cluster of Differentiation 28) is a disulphide-bonded glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, and structurally consists of a single Ig V-like extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain. Mouse CD28 is constitutively expressed on the surface of all murine T cells and on developing thymocytes as disulfide-linked homodimers or as monomers. CD28 can binds the B7-1 and B7-2 ligand, and together perform important functions in the T and B cell response pathways. B7/CD28 family members, which can augment or antagonize T-cell receptor signaling, in the regulation of central and peripheral T-cell tolerance. CD28 is thus involved in T-cell activation, the induction of cell proliferation and cytokine production and promotion of T-cell survival.
