LOU rat splenocytes stained with OX-8 PerCP
CD8a is a 32 kD glycoprotein also known as T8, Lyt2, Ly-2, and CD8α. CD8a is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed on most thymocytes, subset of mature T cells, most NK cells, macrophages, and some activated CD4+ T cells (not resting). CD8a forms heterodimers with the CD8β chain (CD8b) on the surface of most thymocytes, while mature peripheral T lymphocytes express almost exclusively the CD8 αβ heterodimer. Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes express CD8a without CD8b. CD8 is an antigen co-receptor on T cells that interacts with MHC class I on antigen-presenting cells or epithelial cells. CD8 participates in T cell activation through its association with the T cell receptor complex and protein tyrosine kinase lck (p56lck).

- Recommended Usage
-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤1.0 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
* PerCP has a maximum absorption of 482 nm and a maximum emission of 675 nm. - Application Notes
-
The OX-8 antibody has been reported to partially block T cell responses, including mixed lymphocyte reactions and cytotoxic T cell responses, and to induce macrophage activation. Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: immunohistochemistry1,2 of acetone-fixed frozen sections and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, immunoprecipitation3, in vivo and in vitro blocking of T cell responses3, 4, macrophage stimulation5, and Western blotting3,6.
