The Biotin-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD8B antibody (Clone 03-04-01) (ABIN951408) specifically detects CD8B in FACS.
The antibody is reactive with Rat samples.
This monoclonal antibody reacts with the beta chain of the CD8 differentiation antigen. The 3.4.1 antibody also blocks both activation in an allogenic response and cell mediated cytotoxicity by CD8 T cells.

Background
CD8b is expressed on most thymocytes and mature T cytotoxic/suppressor cells (MHC class I restricted). While the CD8a and CD8b form a heterodimer on the surface of thymocytes and thymus-dependent T cytotoxic/suppressor cells, the majority of NK cells, many CD8 T cells from athymic rats, many activated CD4 T cells, and intestinal epithelium lymphocytes (IEL) express CD8a without CD8b. This suggests that expression of the CD8 heterodimer (a/b) is more dependant on intrathymic T cell maturation than that of the homodimer (a/a). The thymus dependence of CD8a/b T cells may be due to a requirement for thymic selection on self MHC class I antigens.Synonyms: CD8B, CD8B1, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 beta chain
