Introducing the Anti-Mouse CD8a [Ly-2.2] In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin from Assay Genie, a highly specific monoclonal antibody meticulously designed for in vivo applications. This antibody targets the CD8a protein, an essential molecule in the immune response, making it an indispensable tool for research in immunology and associated research fields. With a rat IgG2a kappa isotype, this antibody ensures high purity and low endotoxin levels (<1.0 EU/mg), making it ideal for applications such as ELISA, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and other pivotal assays. It is available in various sizes and is formulated in phosphate-buffered saline to ensure stability and efficacy.
Elevate your research capabilities with this reliable and versatile antibody. CD8a, also known as Ly-2.2, is a glycoprotein found on the surface of immune cells such as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). It plays a critical role in the immune system by aiding the activation of T-cells through interaction with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Enhance your immunological research with the precision and reliability of the Anti-Mouse CD8a [Ly-2.2] In Vivo Antibody from Assay Genie.

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.
