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-Fire 810
APC-Fire™ 810 from BioLegend has an excitation peak at 650nm and an emission peak at 807 nm and is spectrally similar to APC-CF®790. APC-Fire™ 810 is most commonly used in flow cytometry. On a 5-laser Cytek® Aurora, it has very limited spectral spillover into any other channel, so it can be assigned to any antigen with moderate to abundant expression and used in combination with any other fluorophore. This dye is very useful for detecting variably expressed markers, like markers of activation, since it emits so far outside of the autofluorescence range.
