Product Type: | Monoclonal Antibody |
Isotype: | Mouse IgG2a |
Reactivity: | Human |
Immunogen: | Thymocytes and Sézary T cells |
Applications: | FA, FC, WB |
Formulation: | This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. |
Endotoxin Level: | <0.5 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method |

Preparation: | Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only In vitro protein free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates. |
Storage and Handling: | Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. |
Applications: | FA, FC, WB |
Recommended Usage: | FC The suggested concentration for this UCHT-4 antibody for staining cells in flow cytometry is ≤ 1.0 µg per 106 in a volume of 100 µl or 100µl of whole blood. Titration of the reagent is recommended for optimal performance for each application. WB The suggested concentration for this UCHT-4 antibody for use in western blotting is 1-10 µg/ml when used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. |

CD8 is made up of disulfide-linked α and β chains that form the α(CD8a)/β(CD8b) heterodimer and α/α homodimer. CD8 is part of the Ig superfamily that expresses primarily as CD8a homodimers. CD8a is a 32-34 kD type I glycoprotein that can also form heterodimers with CD8b. CD8 is an antigen co-receptor on T cells that mediates efficient cell to cell interactions within the immune system. CD8 coupled with the T cell receptor on the T lymphocyte recognizes an antigen displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. The CD8 co-receptor also plays a role in T cell signaling by interacting with Lck (lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase) which leads to the activation of transcription factors that affect the expression of certain genes.
