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. State of Matter Liquid 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<sup>TM</sup> 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 CD28 is a 44 kD glycoprotein and member of the Ig superfamily that produces co-stimulatory
signals necessary for T cell activation and survival as part of the B7-1/B7-2–CD28/CTLA-4
pathway1. The two B7 family proteins, B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86), have dual specificity for
the stimulatory receptor CD28 and the inhibitory receptor CTLA-4 (CD152). When B7-1 and
B7-2 interact with CD28, an important co-stimulatory signal, transmitted via CD28, synergizes
with the TCR signal to regulate the threshold for T cell activation and promote T cell survival,
clonal expansion, and differentiation. CD28 also promotes interleukin-2 (IL-2) production. In
contrast, when B7-1 and B7-2 engage with CTLA-4, a negative signal inhibits TCR- and CD28-
mediated signaling as well as IL-2 synthesis, and the T-cell response is terminated. JJ319 was generated by immunizing a BALB/c mouse with rat CD28-transfected A20/J cells (A28-4-1) Antigen Distribution CD28 is constitutively expressed on the surface of T cells. CD28 is also
expressed on a subset of rat natural killer cells. Ligand/Receptor CD80 (B7-1), CD86 (B7-2), PIK3R1, PRKCQ NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org Research Area Costimulatory Molecules . Immunology . Immunoglobulins Leinco Antibody AdvisorPowered by AI: AI is experimental and still learning how to provide the best assistance. It may occasionally generate incorrect or incomplete responses. Please do not rely solely on its recommendations when making purchasing decisions or designing experiments. Clone JJ319 is a mouse monoclonal antibody widely used to target rat CD28—a costimulatory receptor on T cells—in a range of in vivo and in vitro studies involving rats. However, its direct use in mice is not standard, as the antibody specifically recognizes rat CD28 and does not cross-react with mouse CD28. Nevertheless, there are a few scenarios where clone JJ319 might appear in in vivo mouse studies:
Typical in vivo applications in these specialized settings include:
Key technical limitations:
Summary Table: JJ319 In Vivo Use in Mice
For studies specifically in regular, immunocompetent mice, alternative anti-mouse CD28 clones (such as 37.51 or PV-1) are used. In summary: JJ319 is typically not used for direct in vivo targeting of mouse CD28; its applications in mice are limited to models where rat CD28 is artificially present. The most common routine use of JJ319 remains in vivo and in vitro modulation of rat, not mouse, T cell responses. Commonly, the JJ319 antibody against CD28 is used in combination with several other antibodies or proteins for immunological studies in rats. The most frequently co-used antibodies and proteins include:
Other related commonly studied antigens/proteins, particularly in the context of T cell activation or immune modulation, include:
In summary, when using JJ319, the literature frequently combines it with antibodies or proteins that:
If you need a more specific context or application (e.g., transplantation, autoimmunity, flow cytometry), please clarify for a tailored list. The key findings from scientific literature regarding clone JJ319 are that it is a conventional monoclonal antibody (mAb) recognizing rat CD28, specifically binding to an epitope near the B7 binding site between amino acid 66 and the transmembrane domain, with a critical residue at position 98 (valine) for binding. JJ319 acts as a functional antagonist in vivo by rapidly inducing internalization of CD28, and has been shown to prolong allograft survival in rat heart transplantation models, though it does not induce tolerance.

Additional relevant information:
Literature consistently identifies JJ319 as a rat-specific, function-blocking anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody with applications in transplantation and immunological research. Dosing regimens of clone JJ319 (an anti-rat CD28 monoclonal antibody) can vary across mouse models depending on the experimental purpose, mouse strain, and disease context. However, most published dosing practices converge on a few typical regimens, primarily in the context of studies involving graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), immunomodulation, and T cell research.
Summary Table: JJ319 Dosing Regimens Across Mouse Models
If you have a specific mouse model or disease context in mind (e.g., autoimmune model, tumor immunology), please specify for more targeted information. The regimen may need adjustment based on model characteristics, disease kinetics, and desired effect (agonist vs. antagonist function, immune cell depletion vs. activation). No evidence from search results suggests highly variable dosing by mouse strain alone, but dose and frequency often align with published effective regimens and pilot study findings for the targeted experimental outcome.
