CD8a (Ly2, T cell Co-receptor, Leu2, T8) (PE)

Porcine CD8, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, is expressed as either a CD8alpha/alpha homodimer or a CD8alpha/beta heterodimer. It is found on most thymocytes, and on the “suppressor/cytotoxic” subpopulation of peripheral T cells. CD8 functions primarily as a co-receptor with MHC Class I-restricted T-cell receptors in antigen recognition.||Applications:|Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunoprecipitation and Cytotoxicity assays. Other applications not tested.||Recommended Dilution:|Flow Cytometry: ≤ 0.2ug/10e6 cells.|Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.||Storage and Stability:|May be stored at 4°C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for at least 12 months at 4°C. Freezing R-Phycoerythrin (PE) conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity. PE conjugates are sensitive to light.
