Anti-Mouse CD8a (53-6.7) In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin

Anti-Mouse CD8a (53-6.7) In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin

• Background: CD8, a.k.a Lyt-2, Ly-2, or T8, consists of disulfide-linked A and β chains that form the A(CD8a)/β(CD8b) heterodimer and A/A homodimer. CD8a is a 34 kD protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin family. The CD8 A/β heterodimer is expressed on the surface of most thymocytes and a subset of mature TCR A/β T cells.
• Specifications: Anti-CD8a In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin (53-6.7) recognizes Lyt 2, lymphocyte differentiation antigen. The antibody precipitates 44 kDa and 33 kDa proteins and reacts with non-polymorphic determinant.
