CD8 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN319569

Product Details anti-CD8 Antibody

Target: CD8

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD8 antibody is un-conjugated

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

Specificity: SM024LE recognises a non polymorphic epitope on the mouse CD8 alpha chain. Antibodies produced by clone YTS105.18 have been reported to block MHC I dependent T-cell responses in vitro and in vivo, and induce transplantation tolerance in combination with CD4 antibodies.

Purification: Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography on Protein G from tissue culture supernatant

Endotoxin Level: Low Endotoxin

Immunogen: Mouse spleen cells. Spleen cells from an immunised DA rat were fused with cells of the rat Y3/Ag1.2.3. myeloma cell line.

Clone: YTS105-18

Isotype: IgG2a

Background: CD8 T cell surface antigen is heterodimer of an alpha and a beta chain linked by two disulfide bonds. It belongs type I membrane protein. Selectively expressing of CD8 on a subset of T cells leads to CD8 T cell development. Through identifying cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells that interact with MHC class I bearing targets, CD8 is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. Veillette et al (1988) found the CD8 is associated with the internal membrane tyrosine-protein kinase p56lck.Synonyms: CD8 alpha chain, CD8A, MAL, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain, T-lymphocyte differentiation antigen T8/Leu-2
