Invented at Netherlands Cancer Institute

Info

Catalogue Number 154794
Applications FACS IP
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets CD8
Synonyms Leu2 T-Lymphocyte Antigen; OKT8 T-Cell Antigen
Reactivity Human
Relevance CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR, CD8 binds to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, but is specific for the class I MHC protein.
The CD8 co-receptor is predominantly expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells, but can also be found on natural killer cells, cortical thymocytes, and dendritic cells. The CD8 molecule is a marker for cytotoxic T cell population. It is expressed in T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma and hypo-pigmented mycosis fungoides
Host Mouse
