Purification	Affinity Chromatography on Protein G.
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	CD8 antigen, alpha chain
Database Link	Entrez Gene 12525 Mouse UniProt ID P01731
Background	CD8 T cell surface antigen is heterodimer of an alpha and a beta chain linked by two disulfide bonds. It belongs type I membrane protein. Selectively expressing of CD8 on a subset of T cells leads to CD8 T cell development. Through identifying cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells that interact with MHC class I bearing targets, CD8 is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. Veillette et al (1988) found the CD8 is associated with the internal membrane tyrosine-protein kinase p56lck.
Synonyms	CD8 alpha chain, CD8A, MAL
