Clone: YTS169-4

Product Details anti-CD8 Antibody (PE)

Specificity: This anti-CD8a (Ly 2) monoclonal antibody 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 (ie. 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. (1) It can also be useful to identify/eliminate cytotoxic or suppressor T lymphocytes in vivo or in vitro. Strains Tested: C57BL/6, BALB/c, AKR/J, C3H/He Positive: : C57BL/6, BALB/c, AKR/J, C3H/He Negative: None.

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
