Catalog No. ABIN7013941

The Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD8 antibody has been validated for FACS. It is suitable to detect CD8 in samples from Human and Non-Human Primate.

Quick Overview for CD8 antibody (APC) (ABIN7013941)

Target: CD8

Reactivity: Human, Non-Human Primate

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD8 antibody is conjugated to APC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: LT8

Product Details anti-CD8 Antibody (APC)

Purpose: Anti-Hu CD8 APC

Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody LT8 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD8, a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. This antibody blocks Leu2 binding.

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with activated allophycocyanin (APC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: human blood lymphocytes

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for CD8

Target: CD8

Alternative Name: CD8

Background: The CD8 T cell coreceptor (monomer approx. 32-34 kDa) is expressed as alpha/beta heterodimer on majority of MHC I-restricted conventional T cells and thymocytes and as alpha/alpha homodimer on subsets of memory T cells, intraepithelial lymphocytes, NK cells and dendritic cells. Regulation of CD8 beta level on T cell surface seems to be an important mechanism to control their effector function. Assembly of CD8 alpha-beta but not alpha-alpha dimers is connected with formation or localization to the lipid rafts. Recruiting triggered TCR complexes to these membrane microdomains as well as affinity of TCR to MHC I is modulated by CD8, thereby affecting the functional diversity of the TCR signaling.,p32, LEU2
