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 480
Brilliantâ„¢ Violet 480 (BV480) is a green-emitting non-tandem polymer fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 525/40 bandpass filter. BV480 has an excitation peak at 436 nm and an emission peak at 478 nm, and provides an optimized alternative to BV510. Other dyes that are similar include StarBright Violet 475 (Bio-Rad) While BV480 can be detected on the same filter as BV510, its emmision profile reduces spillover into the BV605, BV650, and BV711 channels. Additionally BV480's excitation profile will reduce cross-laser excitation with the UV laser, resulting in less spillover into UV channels than BV510. These advantages make BV480 an optimal choice for flow cytometry panels using multiple reagents on Violet and/or UV lasers. This dye is part of the Brilliantâ„¢ Violet dye line. BV510 and BV480 are the only dyes in the Brilliantâ„¢ Violet dye family that are not tandem fluorophores based off the BV421 polymer core, but they have nearly the same maximum excitation.
