About CD8a
The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen acts as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules. The coreceptor functions as either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains or as a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. This gene encodes the CD8 alpha chain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The major protein isoforms of this gene differ by the presence or absence of a transmembrane domain and thus differ in being a membrane-anchored or secreted protein. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]
About Brilliant Violet 605
Brilliantâ„¢ Violet 605 (BV605) is an orange/red-emitting tandem fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 610/20 bandpass filter. BV605 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an and emission peak at 603 nm. BV605 is most commonly used in flow cytometry and is spectrally similar to SuperBright 600 (Thermo Fisher), SuperNova v605 (Beckman Coulter) and StarBright Violet 610 (Bio-Rad). BV605 is considered to be relatively bright and should be used on antigens of moderate to low abudance. This dye is part of the Brilliantâ„¢ Violet dye line of fluorescent polymers. Brilliantâ„¢ Violet 421 polymer is employed as the donor molecule in a series of tandem dyes with acceptor molecules emitting at various points across the visible light spectrum. The Brilliantâ„¢ Violet dyes are a superior alternative to QDot nanocrystals and similar to SuperNova dye from Beckman Coulter and StarBright dyes from Bio-Rad.
