Antigen Distribution: Present on the surface of most thymocytes and a subpopulation of mature T-lymphocytes which include most T suppressor/cytotoxic cells. CD8 participates in T-cell activation through its association with the T-cell receptor complex and protein tyrosine kinase lck.
Specificity: Anti-CD8a In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin (53-6.7) recognizes Lyt 2, lymphocyte differentiation antigen. The antibody precipitates 44 kDa and 33 kDa proteins and reacts with non-polymorphic determinant.
Isotype Control: Rat IgG2a In Vivo Isotype Control - Low Endotoxin [1-1] (ICH2244)
Endotoxin: ≤ 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method
Aggregation: Aggregation level ≤ 5%Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
Background
CD8, a.k.a Lyt-2, Ly-2, or T8, consists of disulfide-linked A and β chains that form the A(CD8a)/β(CD8b) heterodimer and A/A homodimer. CD8a is a 34 kD protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin family. The CD8 A/β heterodimer is expressed on the surface of most thymocytes and a subset of mature TCR A/β T cells.
