Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-CD8 alpha antibody [CAL66] - BSA and Azide free (AB251596)
This data was developed using ab237709, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.
Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human tonsil labelling CD8 alpha with ab237709 at a concentration of 0.1µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH8.5 for 32mins.
ab237709 anti-CD8 alpha antibody [CAL66] was incubated for 16mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.
Customers are encouraged to optimise antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentration, incubation times and temperature for best results in their own IHC assay workflow (automated and manual)

Fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of Human breast cancer tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded section).
Merged staining of Anti-PD-L1 (ab251611; cyan; Opal™ 520), Anti-Granzyme B (ab219803; yellow; Opal™ 540), Anti-PD1 (ab251613; magenta; Opal™ 570), Anti-pan Cytokeratin (ab264485; red; Opal™ 620), Anti-EpCAM (ab225894; red; Opal™ 620), Anti-CD8 alpha (ab251596; green; Opal™ 650) and Anti-FOXP3 (ab96048; orange; Opal™ 690). EpCAM and pan-cytokeratin share the same dye and color. Dyes are pseudo-colored for better contrast of the markers.
The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® MAX instrument with an Opal™ 6-Plex Detection Kit (NEL821001KT, Akoya Biosciences®).
The section was incubated in six rounds of staining; sequentially for ab251611 (1/750 dilution), ab219803 (1/250 dilution), ab251613 (1/750 dilution), ab264485 (0.5 μg/ml), ab225894 (1/1250 dilution), ab251596 (1/1500 dilution) and ab96048 (10 μg/ml); each using a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. EDTA based antigen retrieval (Leica Biosystems BOND® Epitope Retrieval Solution 2, pH 9.0, 20 minutes) was used in between rounds of tyramide signal amplification to remove the antibody from the previous round, to avoid any cross-reactivity. DAPI (dark blue) was used as a nuclear counter stain.
Microscopy and pseudocoloring of individual Opal™ dyes was performed using a Vectra 3 Imaging System (Akoya Biosciences®).

This data was developed using ab237709, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.
The BOND™ Polymer Refine Detection System on the BOND RX Automated Stainer (DS9800, Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany) was used for immunohistochemical labelling of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. The protocol includes a peroxide block, post-primary reagent, polymer detection, DAB chromogen, and haematoxylin counterstain, all automated to minimize variability. Antigen retrieval was performed by heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) for 20 minutes in Tris-EDTA buffer (BOND Epitope Retrieval Solution 2, AR9640, Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany). For mouse and rabbit antibodies, the sequence comprised peroxide block (10 min), primary antibody incubation (30 min), post-primary (10 min), polymer (10 min), DAB (10 min), and haematoxylin (8 min). For rat antibodies, an anti-rat step (1 : 300 dilution, Vector Laboratories, California, USA; 20 min) was included prior to polymer application (15 min).

Biological function summary
The CD8 alpha protein plays a critical role in T-cell mediated immune responses. It forms a heterodimer with the CD8 beta chain creating the CD8 alpha-beta complex that strengthens T-cell interaction with antigen-presenting cells. CD8 alpha also helps in signaling processes that activate T cells equipping them to destroy infected or malignant cells. Researchers often study CD8 alpha peptides to understand its interactions better.
Pathways
CD8 alpha is integral to the T-cell receptor signaling pathway and the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) pathway. The T-cell receptor complex which includes the CD8 molecule transmits signals that are important for T-cell activation and function. CD8 interacts with key proteins such as the T-cell receptor (TCR) and MHC class I molecules facilitating targeted responses against pathogens. These pathways highlight CD8 alpha’s role in adaptive immunity.
