Product Specific Information

This antibody recognizes an extracellular epitope of murine CD8α (32–34 kDa; alpha chain of the CD8 antigen).

Target Information

Cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin receptor family, crucial for signal transduction and T cell differentiation and activation.
CD8 is expressed predominantly on T cells as a disulfide-linked heterodimer of CD8α and CD8β, functioning as a co-receptor with T cell receptor (TCR) for MHC class I molecules.
CD8α also forms homodimers on subsets of T cells, NK cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells.
Binding of MHC-I/peptide complexes triggers Lck recruitment, leading to lymphokine production and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activation.
Activated CTLs are essential for pathogen and tumor cell clearance. Differentiation of naive CD8+ T cells into CTLs is enhanced by IL-2, IL-12, and TGF-β1.
