Invitrogen CD8a Monoclonal Antibody (SK1), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, 100 Tests, eBioscience™

Invitrogen CD8a Monoclonal Antibody (SK1), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, 100 Tests, eBioscience™

The SK1 monoclonal antibody reacts with the human CD8a molecule, 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 T cells and NK cells express CD8a. 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.

Features

• Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (100 µL cell sample + 100 µL IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.
• Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 710 nm; Laser: Blue Laser.
• Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
• Recommended Isotype Control: Mouse IgG1 kappa Isotype Control (P3.6.2.8.1), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™.
