| Long description | CD8 is a 32kDa cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by most thymocytes, a subpopulation of mature peripheral blood T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. CD8 is expressed on the cell surface as a heterodimer, comprising two distinct disulphide linked α and β polypeptide chains, or as a CD8α homodimer. The CD8 αβ heterodimer is expressed on T-cell receptor (TCR) αβ+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL’s), whereas CD8α homodimers are expressed on TCR γδ+ T-cells, natural killer cells and a subpopulation of TCR αβ+ T-cells. The CD8 molecule functions as a co-receptor (with the T-cell receptor) as part of the antigen-recognition complex on TCRαβ+, class I MHC-restricted T cells and plays an important role in T-cell signaling. The CD8 Ig-like domain binds to the alpha-3 domain of MHC-Class 1. |

| Antibody's suited for | The RIV11 antibody is suitable for the detection of total CD8 by flow cytometry and ELISA. The antibody is also suitable for the detection of CD8 by immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry on frozen tissues. Human lymph node, spleen and peripheral blood lymphocytes are suitable for use as positive controls. Optimal antibody dilutions for the different applications should be determined by titration. |

| Description | This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.Cytotoxic T cells cluster differentiators for flow cytometry. This transmembrane glycoprotein is detected by monoclonals and has a lot of clones available with different affinity. |

| Test | Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain. |
