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 .

Use of Clone JJ319 in In Vivo Mouse StudiesJJ319 is a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes rat CD28, a critical costimulatory receptor expressed on T lymphocytes and some NK cells. While its primary applications are well established in in vitro assays (e.g., flow cytometry, T cell stimulation, and immunoprecipitation), there is limited direct evidence of its use for in vivo administration in mice based on the available search results.

Comparison with Superagonistic Antibody JJ316
Practical Use in In Vivo Studies
ConclusionClone JJ319 is a tool for studying rat CD28, mainly used in vitro or in functional grade formulations for in vivo rat experiments. It is not standardly used for in vivo administration in mice; for mouse in vivo T cell studies, superagonistic anti-CD28 antibodies (such as clone JJ316 or hamster anti-mouse CD28 mAb 37.51) are typically employed instead. Always verify cross-reactivity and consult original publications or vendor data sheets before using anti-rodent antibodies in a non-native species. For sterile packaged clone JJ319, a mouse anti-rat CD28 antibody, the correct storage temperature is 2–8°C (refrigeration) when the antibody is in solution (liquid form). The solution should be stored undiluted and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Aliquoting is recommended to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the vial should be gently mixed before use. Do not freeze the antibody. If you are referring to the antibody in a dry or lyophilized form, no specific storage temperature is provided for clone JJ319 in the available results, but for most antibodies in this state, storage at -20°C (freezer) is typicalhowever, always refer to the manufacturers datasheet for confirmation, as this was not explicitly stated in the search results. Summary Table
Key Points
In the literature, JJ319 is often used alongside other antibodies and proteins that target various components of the immune system, particularly those involved in T cell activation and signaling. Some of these include:
JJ319 itself is a monoclonal antibody that recognizes rat CD28, a costimulatory receptor involved in T cell activation. It is used to study immune responses, particularly in rat models, and has been shown to induce profound immunosuppression in transplantation models.

Summary Table: JJ319 vs. JJ316 (Superagonist)
ConclusionClone JJ319 is a conventional anti-rat CD28 monoclonal antibody that binds near the B7 interaction site and does not induce robust T cell activation or disease modulation in vivo. Its binding specificity and functional inactivity contrast sharply with CD28 superagonists, underscoring the importance of epitope location in determining the biological effects of anti-CD28 antibodies.
