CD8a / APC / REA1024
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA1024 recognizes the human CD8 antigen, a cell-surface glycoprotein, also known as Leu-2 or CD8a. CD8 is strongly expressed on human cytotoxic T cells and thymocytes, and on a subset of NK cells. The CD8 antigen is a disulfide-linked dimer that exists either as a CD8a homodimer or as a CD8alpha/beta heterodimer. CD8 acts as a coreceptor for the T cell receptor and binds to the MHC Class I molecules. CD8 is involved in T cell development and activation of mature T cells. The CD8 antibody recognizes the alpha-subunit of the antigen. | Additional information: Clone REA1024 displays negligible binding to Fc receptor. | |

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 APC
Allophycocyanin (APC) is a fluorescent protein derived from cyanobacteria and red algae and a potent donor fluorophore to create tandem dyes that can be excited off the 633-640 nm laser. APC has an excitation peak at 650 nm and a emission peak at 660 nm.
