Cd8a Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: OX-8]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	OX-8
Applications	FC
Recommend Dilution	Flow Cytometry: Neat - 1/10; Use 10µl of the suggested working dilution to label 10e6 cells in 100µl.
Reactivity	Rat
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Rat thymocyte membrane glycoproteins. Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the mouse NS1 myeloma cell line.
Specificity	This antibody recognises the CD8 alpha cell surface antigen, expressed by a subset of T lymphocytes, most thymocytes and the majority of NK cells. Clone MRC OX-8 is suitable for use in in vitro blocking studies. We recommend the use of SM259A for this purpose. This clone has been described reacting with paraffin-embedded material following PLP Fixation (periodatelysine paraformaldehyde)

Reconstitution Method	Restore with 1 ml distilled water
Purification	Affinity chromatography on Protein G
Conjugation	PE
Storage Condition	Prior to and following reconstitution store the antibody at 2-8°C. DO NOT FREEZE! This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light.
Gene Name	CD8a molecule
Database Link	Entrez Gene 24930 Rat UniProt ID P07725
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
