Abstract
The structure of the T-lymphocyte cell surface glycoprotein CD4 is of considerable biological and medical interest. Recombinant rat CD4 expressed in soluble form in mammalian cells and complexed with W3/25 monoclonal Fab fragments formed crystals that diffract to 3·5 Å and have the orthorhombic space group P21212 or P212121. The unit cell has dimensions a = 317 Å, b = 161 Å and c = 41·8 Å and the asymmetric unit consists of two CD4 : Fab complexes. These crystals are of suitable quality for X-ray diffraction analysis.
