Background Information
The T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 beta chain, also called CD8 beta (CD8b), P37 or LEU2 is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. It plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. Being a member of functional coreceptors, CD8 functions either as 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. In T-cells, CD8b functions primarily as a coreceptor for class I MHC molecules. It initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). Additionally, CD8b plays a critical role in thymic selection of CD8+ T-cells. CD8b is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing.

Properties
Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
