The PerCP-Cyanine5.5 Anti-Mouse CD8a Antibody (Clone: 53-6.7) available at www.assaygenie.com provides a reliable tool for the detection and analysis of CD8a, a key cell surface marker involved in immune response modulation. This antibody, produced using advanced technology, offers high reactivity with mouse samples and is optimized for flow cytometry applications. It specifically binds to CD8a, enabling precise identification and characterization of CD8a-positive cells in various experimental settings, making it an essential reagent for immunology and cancer research studies.CD8a, a crucial component of the immune system, plays a pivotal role in cytotoxic T cell function and immune surveillance.
It is integral in recognizing and eliminating infected or abnormal cells, making it an important target for investigating immune responses in health and disease. By exploring the expression and behavior of CD8a-positive cells, researchers can gain insights into the mechanisms underlying immune activation, tolerance, and dysfunction, offering valuable information for the development of novel therapeutic strategies in the fields of immunotherapy and infectious diseases.

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.
