CD8A Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: CT6]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	CT6
Applications	FC, IHC
Recommend Dilution	Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections: 1/100. Flow Cytometry: Use 10 µl of 1/100 diluted antibody to label 10e6 lymphocytes in 100 µl.
Reactivity	Guinea Pig
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Peritoneal T-cells.
Specificity	Mouse anti Guinea Pig CD8 antibody, clone CT6 reacts with guinea pig CD8 present on cytotoxic T-cells. CD 8 comprises 2 subunits, alpha and beta and exists as either an alpha/alpha homodimer or an alpha/beta heterodimer. Sequence suggests that guinea pig CD8 is more closely related to human than rat or mouse CD8 (Nagarajan et al. 2004)
Formulation	State: Supernatant State: Concentrated Tissue Culture Supernatant with 0.09% Sodium Azide and 0.7% BSA
Concentration	lot specific
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	CD8a molecule
Database Link	Entrez Gene 925 Human UniProt ID P01732
Background	The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell to cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen, acting as a coreceptor, and the T cell receptor on the T lymphocyte recognize antigen displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. The functional coreceptor is either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains, or a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains.
Synonyms	CD8 alpha chain, CD8A, MAL
