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.
  • Cellular localization

    Secreted and Cell membrane.
  • Target information above from: UniProt accession P01732 The UniProt Consortium
    The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) in 2010
    Nucleic Acids Res. 38:D142-D148 (2010) .

      Flow cytometric analysis of mouse primary splenocytes labeling CD8 alpha with ab217344 at 1/500 dilution (right panel) compared with a Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control (ab172730) (left panel). Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.

      Cells were surface stained with CD4-Alexa Fluor® 647, then stained with rabbit IgG (Left) / ab217344 (Right) separately. CD4 and CD8 alpha are mutually exclusive expressed in mouse spleen. Gated on total viable cells.

      CD8 alpha was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of mouse thymus lysate with ab217344 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab217344 at 1/2000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/10000 dilution.

      Lane 1: Mouse thymus lysate 10 µg (Input). 

      Lane 2: ab217344 IP in mouse thymus lysate.

      Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab214344 in mouse thymus lysate.

      Exposure time: 5 seconds.

      Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.

      The two bands are different isoforms that are consistent with the literature (PMID 3085089).
