Catalog No. ABIN182025

Product Details anti-CD8 Antibody (FITC)

Target: CD8

Reactivity: Dog

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD8 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: This antibody, clone YCATE 55.9 was clustered as CD8 in the first canine leukocyte antigen workshop. The antibody reacts with canine CD8a transfectants. Clone YCATE 55.9 is reported to block MHC class I dependant T-cell responses in vitro and in vivo.

Characteristics: Synonyms: T-lymphocyte differentiation antigen T8/Leu-2, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain

Purification: Affinity chromatography on Protein G

Immunogen: Canine CD8a chimaeric human IgG1 Fc fusion protein. Spleen cells from immunised DA ratwere fused with cells of the Y3/A1. 2. 3 rat myeloma cell line.

Clone: YCATE55-9

Isotype: IgG1

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
