    Target

    • Function

      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.

    • Involvement in disease

      Defects in CD8A are a cause of familial CD8 deficiency (CD8 deficiency) [MIM:608957]. Familial CD8 deficiency is a novel autosomal recessive immunologic defect characterized by absence of CD8+ cells, leading to recurrent bacterial infections.

    • Sequence similarities

      Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.

    • Post-translational
      modifications

      All of the five most carboxyl-terminal cysteines form inter-chain disulfide bonds in dimers and higher multimers, while the four N-terminal cysteines do not.

      Answer

      Thank you for contacting us.
      I have received following reply from my colleague when asked for immunogen;
      "The immunogen used to produce clone 53-6.7 was mouse thymus or spleen. Generation of this clone is described in the below reference article. At this time, we do not have any information regarding cross reactivity with Drosophila proteins. We apologize for any inconvenience.

      Ledbetter, J. A. and L. A. Herzenberg. 1979. Immunol. Rev. 47:63."
      Assuming that the immunogen is from CD8 alpha chain, I blasted it and found no homology with any of Drosophila protein. So I am sorry I will not be able to provide you any definite answer in this case.
      I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
