Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Mouse Host Species Armenian Hamster Recommended Isotype Controls Recommended Dilution Buffer Immunogen Mouse CTLA-4 IgG2a Fusion Product Concentration ≥ 5.0 mg/ml Endotoxin Level <0.5 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method Purity ≥98% monomer by analytical SEC ⋅ >95% by SDS Page Formulation This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. Product Preparation Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates. Pathogen Testing To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Leinco’s Purified Functional PLATINUM™ antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile. Storage and Handling Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Background CTLA-4 is a 33 kD member of the Ig superfamily similar to CD28 in amino acid sequence, structure, and genomic organization. CTLA-4 is a protein receptor that functions as an immune checkpoint and downregulates immune responses. It is involved in the development of protective immunity and thymocyte regulation, in addition to the induction and maintenance of immunological tolerance. CTLA-4 has therapeutic potential both as an agonist to reduce immune activity, and an antagonist to increase immune activity. Antigen Distribution CTLA-4 is expressed on activated T and B lymphocytes.

It may occasionally generate incorrect or incomplete responses. Please do not rely solely on its recommendations when making purchasing decisions or designing experiments. The clone UC10-4F10-11 is used in in vivo mouse studies primarily to neutralize murine CTLA-4 (CD152), thereby blocking the inhibitory effects of CTLA-4 on T cell activation and promoting T cell co-stimulation in immunological experiments. In detail:
While other anti-CTLA-4 clones (like 9H10 and 9D9) can also deplete intra-tumoral regulatory T cells (Tregs), UC10-4F10-11 is primarily characterized as a CTLA-4 neutralizing antibody rather than a depleting one. It is recommended as a robust tool for studying immune checkpoint blockade and can be obtained in low-endotoxin, in vivo-ready formulations for research purposes. The correct storage temperature for the sterile packaged clone UC10-4F10-11 (anti-mouse CTLA-4/CD152 antibody) is 2–8°C (refrigerated) for short-term storage (up to one month). For longer-term storage, it should be aliquoted and stored at ? -70°C.
If your UC10-4F10-11 is a purified, functional grade antibody, use 2–8°C for up to a month, and aliquot at ? -70°C for longer storage. If the antibody is conjugated (e.g., PE or APC), store undiluted at 4°C and do not freeze. When using UC10-4F10-11 (an anti-mouse CTLA-4 antibody) in research, other commonly used antibodies or proteins include:
In summary, the most commonly referenced antibodies or proteins used with UC10-4F10-11 include other anti-CTLA-4 clones (9H10, 9D9), isotype controls, anti-CD28, and various T cell phenotyping antibodies. Experimental context (e.g., tumor immunity, T cell studies) determines which are prioritized. Clone UC10-4F10-11 is a widely used monoclonal antibody targeting murine CTLA-4 (CD152), with several key findings and applications documented in the scientific literature:
In summary, scientific literature cites clone UC10-4F10-11 as a reliable tool for both mechanistic studies of CTLA-4 in mouse models and for inducing regulatory or Th2-biased immune responses, especially during experimental manipulations of immune priming and disease models.
