Target data

Function

Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class I molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins while class II derived from extracellular proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class I proteins presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). This mechanism enables CTLs to recognize and eliminate infected cells and tumor cells. In NK-cells, the presence of CD8A homodimers at the cell surface provides a survival mechanism allowing conjugation and lysis of multiple target cells. CD8A homodimer molecules also promote the survival and differentiation of activated lymphocytes into memory CD8 T-cells.

  • Flow Cytometry - Anti-CD8 alpha antibody [EPR21769] (ab217344), expandable thumbnail

    Flow Cytometry - Anti-CD8 alpha antibody [EPR21769] (ab217344)

    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.

  • Immunoprecipitation - Anti-CD8 alpha antibody [EPR21769] (ab217344), expandable thumbnail

    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-CD8 alpha antibody [EPR21769] (ab217344)

    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).

    All lanes: Immunoprecipitation - Anti-CD8 alpha antibody [EPR21769] (AB217344)

    Predicted band size: 26 kDa

    Observed band size: 34-38 kDa
