Thermo Fisher Scientific CD8 alpha Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SI18-01)

Applications and Tested Dilution

Product Specifications

Product Specific Information

Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems developed by cloning specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production.
Advantages include:

• Better specificity and sensitivity
• Lot-to-lot consistency
• Animal origin-free formulations
• Broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire

Target Information

Cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin receptor family, playing an integral role in signal transduction and T cell differentiation and activation.
CD8 is predominantly expressed 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 is essential for MHC-I binding and is also expressed on subsets of T cells, NK cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells as homodimers.
Engagement of MHC-I/peptide complexes triggers recruitment of Lck kinase, leading to lymphokine production, motility, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activation.
Activated CTLs are crucial for pathogen and tumor cell clearance. Differentiation of naïve CD8+ T cells into CTLs is enhanced by IL-2, IL-12, and TGF-β1.
