Extra Details:
The OKT8 antibody is specific for the 32-34 kDa alpha chain of human CD8, known as CD8a or CD8 alpha. CD8a can form a homodimer (CD8 alpha-alpha), but is more commonly expressed as a heterodimer with a second chain known as CD8b or CD8 beta. CD8 acts as a co-receptor for antigen recognition and subsequent T cell activation that is initiated upon binding of the T cell receptor (TCR) to antigen-bearing MHC Class I molecules. The cytoplasmic domains of CD8 provide binding sites for the tyrosine kinase lck, facilitating intracellular signaling events that lead to T cell activation, development, and cytotoxic effector functions. CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) play an important role in inducing cell death of tumor cells, as well as cells infected by virus, bacteria or parasites. The OKT8 antibody is widely used as a phenotypic marker for CD8 on cytotoxic T cells, thymocytes, as well as on certain cell types that do not also express the TCR, including some NK cells and lymphoid dendritic cells.
Formulation:
0.01 M Sodium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Host:
Mouse
Immunogen:
Anti-CD8a Antibody (Monoclonal) was produced by repeated immunizations with CD8a antigen.
Isotype:
IgG2a
Physical State:
Liquid
Reactivities:
Human
Shipping Conditions:
Blue Ice
Specificity:
Fluorescein conjugated CD8a Monoclonal Antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant via affinity chromatography and is directed against human CD8a. Reactivity is observed against human CD8a. Cross reactivity with CD8a from other sources has not been tested. Anti-CD8a is conjugated with FITC under optimal conditions and the solution is free of unconjugated FITC.
Storage Conditions:
2-8[o]C diluted. Do not freeze. Protect from light.
