Alternative Names:

T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain; T-lymphocyte differentiation antigen T8/Leu-2; CD8a; CD8A; MAL

Application:

IHC

Reactivity:

Human

Dilution:

IHC 1:50~1:200

	Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human spleen, using CD8 alpha Antibody.

Purification:

Affinity-chromatography

Specificity:

CD8 alpha Antibody detects endogenous levels of total CD8 alpha

Immunogen:

A synthesized peptide derived from human CD8 alpha

Description:

Identifies cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells that interact with MHC class I bearing targets. CD8 is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. CD8 alpha chains binds to class I MHC molecules alpha-3 domains.
