4°C Do Not FreezeIn the mouse, CD8 exists in two forms–a CD8 heterodimer composed of an a chain (CD8a) and a b chain (CD8b); and (ii) a homodimer of two a chains.The heterodimer is found on the surface of essentially all thymocytes and the “suppressor/cytotoxic” subpopulation of mature T lymphocytes. Subsets of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes express CD8a without CD8b. It has been suggested that CD8+b T cells mature extrathymically, while development of the CD8a+b+ population of T cells is thymus-dependent. CD8 acts as a coreceptor with MHC Class I- restricted T cell receptors in antigen recognition and positive selection of MHC class I-restricted CD8+ T cells.
In vivo and in vitro treatment with the 228173 antibody effectively depletes CD8α+ cells. 228173 also blocks allogeneic help specific for class I MHC antigens and T cell responses to IL-2.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: ≤0.2µg/106 cells
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: APC/Cy5.5 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
