Quick Overview for CD8 antibody (FITC) (ABIN114166)

Target: CD8

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD8 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Clone: YTS169-4

Product Details anti-CD8 Antibody (FITC)

Specificity: Antibody CL007 reacts with a protein of approximately 30 kDa found on mouse thymocytes and mouse cytotoxic/ suppressor T cells. It does not bind to mouse helper/inducer T cells. It binds to T lymphocytes from all mouse strains regardless of phenotypic expression (i.e. reacts with T lymphocytes from mouse strains expressing the Ly 2.1 or Ly 2.2 phenotype). It can be used to investigate the role of T cells in models for infectious disease, autoimmunity, transplantation tolerance and fundamental aspects of immunology.

Purification: Protein G Chromatography

Immunogen: Murine thymocytes

Isotype: IgG2b

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow Cytometry. Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Protocol: FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS: Method: 1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cellpopulation with Lympholyte®-M cell separation medium. 2. Wash 2 times. 3. Resuspend the cells to a concentration of 2x107 cells/ml in media A. Add 50µl of thissuspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1 x 106 cells, representing 1 test). 4. To each tube, add 0. 1-0. 5 µg* of ABIN114165 per 106 cells. 5. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells. 6. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4°C. (It is recommended that the tubes are protected from light, since most flurochromes arelight sensitive. )7. Wash 2 times at 4°C. 8. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 µl ice cold media B. 9. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 µl of propidiumiodide at 0. 5 mg/ml in PBS. This stains dead cells by intercalating in DNA. Media: A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7. 2) + 5% normal serum of host species + sodium azide(100 µl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls). B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7. 2) + 0. 5% Bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100µl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for CD8

Target: CD8

Alternative Name: CD8

Background: The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell to cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen, acting as a coreceptor, and the T cell receptor on the T lymphocyte recognize antigen displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. The functional coreceptor is either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains, or a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains.Synonyms: CD8 alpha chain, CD8A, MAL, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain, T-lymphocyte differentiation antigen T8/Leu-2
