InVivoMAb anti-rat CD8α
Catalog #BE0415
Clone:
OX-8
Reactivities:
Rat
Product Details
The OX-8 monoclonal antibody reacts with the hinge-like membrane-proximal domain of rat CD8α. The CD8 antigen is a transmembrane glycoprotein that acts as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR, CD8 binds to class I MHC molecules displayed by antigen presenting cells (APC). CD8 is primarily expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells, but can also be found on thymocytes, natural killer cells, and some dendritic cell subsets. CD8 most commonly exists as a heterodimer composed of one CD8α and one CD8β chain however, it can also exist as a homodimer composed of two CD8α chains. Both the CD8α and CD8β chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. The OX-8 antibody has been reported to exhibit CD8 T cell depleting activity when used in vivo.Specifications
