The Mouse CD8a Monoclonal Antibody (AF488 Conjugated) 53-7.6 (AGEL1344) is a specialized antibody designed for researchers working with mouse models and investigating the CD8a protein. CD8a is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed on cytotoxic T cells and plays a crucial role in immune response regulation, particularly in cytotoxic T cell activation and function.This monoclonal antibody, conjugated with AF488 for fluorescence detection, is specifically tailored for the identification and analysis of CD8a in mouse samples. Its high specificity and sensitivity make it an excellent tool for flow cytometry and immunofluorescence applications, allowing for precise visualization and quantification of CD8a-expressing cells in various tissues and experimental conditions.
By targeting CD8a, researchers can gain insights into T cell-mediated immune responses, such as antigen recognition and cytotoxic activity. This antibody is a valuable resource for studies focusing on immunology, infectious diseases, cancer immunotherapy, and autoimmune disorders in mouse models. Its reliable performance and accurate detection make it an essential component of cutting-edge research in the field of immunology.

Background:
CD8, also known as Lyt-2, Ly-2, or T8, consists of disulfide-linked α and β chains that form the α(CD8a)/β(CD8b) heterodimer and α/α homodimer. CD8a is a 34 kD protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin family. The CD8 α/β heterodimer is expressed on the surface of most thymocytes and a subset of mature TCR α/β T cells. CD8 expression on mature T cells is non-overlapping with CD4. The CD8 α/α homodimer is expressed on a subset of γ/δ TCR-bearing T cells, NK cells, intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes, and lymphoid dendritic cells. CD8 is an antigen co-receptor on T cells that interacts with MHC class I on antigen-presenting cells or epithelial cells. CD8 promotes T cell activation through its association with the TCR complex and protein tyrosine kinase lck.
