Anti-Mouse CD8b.2 In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin
Introducing the Anti-Mouse CD8b.2 In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin from Assay Genie, a highly specific monoclonal antibody designed for in vivo applications. This antibody targets the CD8b protein, critical for immune response, making it perfect for research in immunology and related fields. With a rat IgG2a isotype, this antibody ensures exceptional purity and low endotoxin levels of less than 1.0 EU/mg, ideal for ELISA, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and other assays. Available in various sizes, it is meticulously formulated in phosphate-buffered saline for maximum stability and efficacy.
Elevate your research with this dependable and versatile antibody. CD8b is a glycoprotein predominantly found on the surface of cytotoxic T cells, playing a significant role in the immune system by partnering with CD8a to form a co-receptor that enhances the interaction between cytotoxic T cells and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. This interaction is crucial for the activation and function of cytotoxic T cells in recognizing and eliminating infected or malignant cells.

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.
