The PE GenieFluor 594 Anti-Mouse CD8a Antibody (53-6.7) (AGEL3029) is a valuable tool for researchers studying CD8a, a cell surface marker predominantly found on cytotoxic T cells. This antibody, raised in mice, is highly specific for mouse samples and has been validated for use in flow cytometry and immunofluorescence applications. By binding to CD8a, this antibody enables researchers to analyze and quantify CD8a-expressing cells in various tissues and cell populations.CD8a is a crucial protein involved in immune responses, specifically in the recognition and elimination of infected or abnormal cells. Its presence on cytotoxic T cells makes it a key player in immune surveillance and defense against pathogens.
Studying CD8a expression and activity is essential for understanding immune responses in infection, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. This antibody provides researchers with a reliable tool for investigating the role of CD8a in immune regulation and disease pathology.Overall, the PE GenieFluor 594 Anti-Mouse CD8a Antibody (53-6.7) (AGEL3029) is a valuable resource for scientists interested in unraveling the complexities of immune responses and developing targeted therapies for various diseases. Its specificity and reliability make it an essential component of immunology research.

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.
