Flow Cytometry - Anti-CD8 alpha antibody [YTS169.4] (AB22378)
Overlay histogram showing mouse spleen cells (C57BL/6) labeling CD8 alpha with ab22378 (red line). The cells were incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab22378, 0.1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 4°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rat IgG (H&L) (ab150157) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 4°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rat IgG2b [RTK4530] (ab18541, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions.
Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.

Product details
ab22378 is not expected to work in standard western blots, under denaturing conditions, or in IHC on formalin-fixed tissue. To our knowledge, ab22378 will only stain frozen sections or fresh cells, and will only immunoprecipitate the antigen from cell lysates in mild detergents such as NP40 or Triton-X100.

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.
