Schematic representation of CD4 receptor. Like many cell surface receptors/markers, CD4 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It has four immunoglobulin domains (D 1 to D 4) that are exposed on the extracellular surface of the cell: D 1 and D 3 resemble immunoglobulin variable (IgV) domains. D 2 and D 4 resemble immunoglobulin constant ...
Normal values (95% confidence intervals) are approximately 30-60% CD4 and 10-30% CD8 depending on age (ratio 0.9 to 3.7 in adults). [1] One reason for abnormal results is the loss of CD4-positive cells to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The loss of CD4-positive cells to HIV infection can result in various distortions in the ...
In COVID-19 B cell, natural killer cell, and total lymphocyte counts decline, but both CD4 + and CD8 + cells decline to a far greater extent. [12] Low CD4 + predicted greater likelihood of intensive care unit admission, and CD4 + cell count was the only parameter that predicted length of time for viral RNA clearance.
They are triggered by the polarising cytokines IL-4 and IL-2, and their effector cytokines are IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-10, IL-13 and IL-25. The main effector cells are eosinophils, basophils, and mast cells as well as B cells, and IL-4/IL-5 CD4 T cells. The key T h 2 transcription factors are STAT6 and GATA3. [21]
The reason for the preferential loss of mucosal CD4 + T cells is that a majority of mucosal CD4 + T cells express the CCR5 coreceptor, whereas a small fraction of CD4 + T cells in the bloodstream do so. [5] HIV seeks out and destroys CCR5 expressing CD4 + cells during acute infection. A vigorous immune response eventually controls the infection ...
a type II transmembrane protein found on pre-B cells, germinal-center B cells, some neutrophils, kidney cells, T-cell precursors, and epithelial cells that acts as a zinc metalloprotease cleaving peptide bonds on the amino side of hydrophobic amino acids; expressed in acute lymphocytic leukemia and follicular-center-cell lymphomas.

CD4 immunoadhesin was first developed in the mid-1990s as a potential therapeutic agent and treatment for HIV/AIDS. The protein is a fusion of the extracellular domain of the CD4 receptor and the Fc domain of human immunoglobulin G (IgG), the most abundant antibody isotype in the human body. [1]
