Reactivity | Human |
Clonality | Monoclonal |
Brand: | Exbio |
Product no.: | 11-207-C025 |
Product type: | Primary antibodies |
Host species: | Mouse |
Product name: | Mouse Monoclonal to CD8 |
Antigen: | CD8 |
Clonality: | Monoclonal |
Clone: | MEM-31 |
Isotype: | IgG2a |
Immunogen: | Crude thymus membrane fraction. |
Format: | purified |
Specificity: | The antibody MEM-31 recognizes a conformationally-dependent epitope of CD8, a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. CD8 is a disulfide-linked dimer and exists as a CD8 alpha/alpha homodimer or CD8 alpha/beta heterodimer (each monomer approx. 32-34 kDa). The antibody does not react with formaldehyde-fixed cells; negative in Western Blotting application. HLDA III; WS Code T 575 |
Categories: | CD and Related Antigens (Human) |
Concentration: | 1 mg/ml |
Storage buffer: | Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 15 mM sodium azide, approx. pH 7.4 |
Storage / stability: | Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label. |
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. |
Purity: | > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) |
