Product Data
Clone Name YTS169.4
Applications FC
Recommend Dilution Flow Cytometry Analysis (see Protocols).
This antibody has been reported to be suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry on PFA-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded tissue sections (antigen retrieval is required). (7)
This clone has been reported to work in Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections. (6)
Reactivity Mouse
Host Rat
Clonality Monoclonal
Immunogen Mouse Ly-2 thymocytes.
Donor: (LOU X DA) F1 rat.
Fusion Partner: Y3/Ag1.2.3.
Specificity This anti-CD8a (Ly 2) monoclonal antibody reacts with a protein of approximately 30 kDa found on mouse thymocytes and mouse cytotoxic/suppressor T cells. It does not bind to mouse helper/inducer T cells. It binds to T lymphocytes from all mouse strains regardless of phenotypic expression (ie. reacts with T lymphocytes from mouse strains expressing the Ly 2.1 or Ly 2.2 phenotype.). It can be used to investigate the role of T cells in models for infectious disease, autoimmunity, transplantation tolerance and fundamental aspects of immunology. (1)
It can also be useful to identify/eliminate cytotoxic or suppressor T lymphocytes in vivo or in vitro.
Strains Tested: C57BL/6, BALB/c, AKR/J, C3H/He
Positive: : C57BL/6, BALB/c, AKR/J, C3H/He
Negative: None.
Formulation PBS containing 0.02% Sodium Azide and EIA grade BSA as a stabilizing protein to bring total protein concentration to 4-5 mg/ml
Label: PE
State: Liquid purified IgG fraction
Concentration lot specific
Conjugation PE
Storage Condition Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C.
DO NOT FREEZE!
This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light.
Gene Name CD8 antigen, alpha chain
Background The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell to cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen, acting as a coreceptor, and the T cell receptor on the T lymphocyte recognize antigen displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. The functional coreceptor is either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains, or a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains.
Synonyms CD8 alpha chain, CD8A, MAL
Note Protocol: FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS:

Method:
1. Prepare cell suspension in Media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cell population.
2. Wash 2 times.
3. Resuspend cells to a concentration of 2x10e7 cells/ml Media A. Add 50 µl of this suspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1x10e6 cells, representing 1 test.
4. To each tube add 2.0 µg of this Ab per 10e6 cells.
5. Vortex to ensure through mixing of antibody and cells.
6. Incubate tubes at 4°C for 30 minutes. (It is recommended that the tubes are protected from light, since most fluorochromes are light sensitive.)
7. Wash 2 times at 4°C in Media B.
8. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 µl ice cold Media B.
9. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 µl of propidium iodide at 0.5 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline. (This stains dead cells by intercalating DNA).

Media:
A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 5% normal serum of host species + sodium azide (100 ul of 2 M sodium azide in 100 mls.)
B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 0.5% bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100 ul of 2 M sodium azide in 100 mls.)
