CD5 Monoclonal Antibody (UCHT2), Super Bright™ 780, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Beschreibung

Description: The 53-6.7 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD8a molecule. CD8a is an approximately 32-34 kDa cell surface receptor expressed either as a heterodimer with the CD8 beta chain (CD8 alpha beta) or as a homodimer (CD8 alpha alpha). A majority of thymocytes and a subpopulation of mature alpha beta TCR T cells express CD8 alpha beta while gamma delta TCR T cells, a subpopulation of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and dendritic cells express CD8 alpha alpha. CD8 binds to MHC class I and through its association with protein tyrosine kinase p56lck plays a role in T cell development and activation of mature T cells. Applications Reported: This 53-6.7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 53-6.7 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Super Bright 780 can be excited with the violet laser line (405 nm) and emits at 780 nm. We recommend using a 780/60 bandpass filter, or equivalent. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.
