| Additional Information | Description: CD8 is a 33 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein expressed as either a CD8 alpha/alpha homodimer or CD8 alpha/beta heterodimer. It is expressed on the "cytotoxic/suppressor" subpopulation of peripheral T cells. CD8 functions primarily as a coreceptor with MHC class I-restricted TCR's in antigen recognition. |
| Reconstitution and Storage | Store at -20C |
| Immunogen | Thymocytes and E-rosetted lymphocytes |
| Concentration | 0.5 mg/mL |
| Specificity | CD8 |
| Characterization | To insure acceptable performance, each batch of product is tested by flow cytometry to conform to thecharacteristics of a standard reference reagent. |
| Warning | Reagents contain sodium azide which is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, orclothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copiousamounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxichydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide- containing compounds in running water beforediscarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing. |

| Description of Target | The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen acts as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules. The coreceptor functions as either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains or as a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. This gene encodes the CD8 alpha chain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. |
