Fresh Human Peripheral Blood CD4 T Cells, Single Donor

T-cell activation is an essential step in the immune response. 

CD4⁺ T cells play a vital role in adaptive immunity. They regulate both cytotoxic T cell- and antibody-mediated immune responses. The CD4⁺ T cells play a central role in the recognition and elimination of infected and malignant cells. In addition, CD4⁺ regulatory T cells are needed to maintain and support self-tolerance and to inhibit immune responses that could damage the host.

Five subsets of CD4⁺ T cells have been identified: the Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells that target specific classes of pathogens; the regulatory T cells that are required to maintain self-tolerance; the follicular helper T cells (T_FH) that provide help to B cells for antibody production (REF)

Human peripheral blood CD4 T lymphocytes are isolated from blood mononuclear cells of single donor.
