Description
CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR, CD8 binds to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, but is specific for the class I MHC protein. There are two isoforms of the protein, alpha and beta, each encoded by a different gene. In humans, both genes are located on chromosome 2 in position 2p12. Synonyms: Monoclonal CD8 antibody, Anti-CD8 antibody, Cluster of differentiation 8 antibody.
Immunogen
CD8 antibody (FITC) was raised in Mouse using a purified recombinant fragment of human CD8 expressed in E. coli as the immunogen.
