CD8a Monoclonal / APC / REA601
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA601 is specific for the mouse CD8a antigen, also known as LY-2 or T8, which is expressed on cytotoxic T cells and at lower levels on subpopulations of dendritic cells and TCRgamma/delta+ cells. CD8a is further detected on most thymocytes (CD4+CD8a+ and CD4–CD8+ thymocytes). Cytotoxic T cells and thymocytes express CD8a as heterodimer with CD8b, whereas dendritic cells and TCRgamma/delta+ cells express a CD8a/CD8a homodimer. It mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. | Additional information: Clone REA601 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | |

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.
