Biolegend, 388804, PE anti-human CD8a Antibody, 100tests

CD8α, also known as T8 or Leu2, is a 32-34 kD type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein part of the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD8α is expressed on cytotoxic T cells, NK Cells, as well as a majority off thymocytes. CD8α can form a homodimer (CD8α/α) or heterodimer (CD8α/β) with CD8β. CD8α acts as a co-receptor with MHC class I-restricted T cell receptors in antigen recognition and T cell activation, and has been shown to play a role in thymic differentiation. Two domains in CD8α are important for function: the extracellular Ig superfamily domain binds the α3 domain of MHC Class I and the cytoplasmic CXCP motif binds the tyrosine kinase p56 Lck.

Concentration: Lot-specific (to obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.)
Storage & Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Application: FC - Quality tested
Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 µL per million cells in 100 µL staining volume or 5 µL per 100 µL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
