Background

The human lymphocyte differentiation antigen CD8 is encoded by a single gene that gives rise to a 33- to 34-kDa glycoprotein expressed on the cell surface as a dimer and in higher molecular mass forms.

Synonyms

T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 beta chain; CD8 antigen 37 kDa chain; OX-8 membrane antigen; CD8b; Cd8b; Cd8b1

Gene Name

CD8A; CD8B

Gene ID

Human (925), Mouse (12525), Rat (24930)

UniProt

P01732

Host

Mouse

Reactivity

Human

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins

Immunogen

Human thymocytes followed by peripheral blood T cells.

Clonality

Monoclonal

Clone

Clone: CA-8

Tissue Specificity

Both mature cathepsin L1 and procathepsin L are found in the upper epidermis. The lower epidermis predominantly contains procathepsin L. In seminiferous tubules expression is greater at stages VI-VII than at stages IX-XII. .

Applications

Flow Cytometry, IHC, ICC

Field of Research

Adaptive Immunity, Antiviral Signaling, Hematopoietic Progenitors, Immune System Diseases, Immunology, Lymphoid, Myeloid, Stem Cells, T Cells, T Lymphocytic Lineage

Purification

Ascites

Concentration

Adding 1 ml of PBS buffer will yield a concentration of 100 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 1ml of PBS buffer will yield a concentration of 100ug/ml.

Function

Identifies 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.
