PRODUCT NAME

Anti-Mouse CD8a In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin (53-6.7)

SPECIES REACTIVITY

Mouse

HOST

Rat

SPECIFICITY

Anti-CD8a In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin (53-6.7) recognizes Lyt 2, lymphocyte differentiation antigen. The antibody precipitates 44 kDa and 33 kDa proteins and reacts with non-polymorphic determinant.

PURIFICATION METHOD

ANTIGEN DISTRIBUTION

Present on the surface of most thymocytes and a subpopulation of mature T-lymphocytes which include most T suppressor/cytotoxic cells. CD8 participates in T-cell activation through its association with the T-cell receptor complex and protein tyrosine kinase lck.

IMMUNOGEN

Mouse thymus or spleen

CONCENTRATION

FORMULATION

0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.4, 150 mM NaCl with no carrier protein, potassium or preservatives added.

PURITY

>98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

ENDOTOXIN

≤ 0.75 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method

AGGRIGATION

Aggregation level ≤ 1%

STORAGE CONDITION

anti-CD8a In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin (53-6.7) is stable for at least one week when stored sterile at 2-8°C. For long term storage aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at –80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

TARGET

CD8a

CLONE

53-6.7

SYNONYMS

BACKGROUND

CD8, a.k.a Lyt-2, Ly-2, or T8, consists of disulfide-linked A and β chains that form the A(CD8a)/β(CD8b) heterodimer and A/A homodimer. CD8a is a 34 kD protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin family. The CD8 A/β heterodimer is expressed on the surface of most thymocytes and a subset of mature TCR A/β T cells.

UNIPROT
