CD8 molecule consists of two chains, termed alpha and beta chain, which are expressed as a disulphide-linked heterodimer or homodimer. CD8 is expressed on T cell subset (cytotoxic/suppressor T cells), thymocytes and NK cells.

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the CD8a antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

Recombinant human protein was used as immunogen for this CD8a antibody.

CD8a antibody with azide can be stored at 2-8oC. The azide-free format should be aliquoted and stored at -20oC or colder.
