Monoclonal Anti-CD8-PE antibody produced in mouse, clone MEM-31, purified immunoglobulin, buffered aqueous solution

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 µL reagent / 100 µL of whole blood or 1e6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) acts as a vital co-receptor of cytotoxic T cells. Mutation in the gene has been associated with the development of respiratory infections. Soluble CD8 plays a major role in regulation of soluble human leucocyte antigen I (sHLA-I) mediated transfusion-related immunomodulation (TRIM). Elevated levels of sCD8 has been observed in polytransfused patients suffering from human immunodeficiency virus-negative haemophilia and β-thalassaemia major.
