Catalog No. ABIN118127

Product Details anti-CD8 Antibody (APC)

Target: CD8

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD8 antibody is conjugated to APC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: Mouse Ly2.1 and Ly2.2 cells. This antibody reacts with the CD8 alpha chain (non polymorphic).

Clone: KT15

Isotype: IgG2a

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow Cytometry: The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind non-specifically to cellsexpressing low affinity Fc recepto
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for CD8

Target: CD8

Alternative Name: CD8 (CD8 Products)

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
