| Description |
| Clone 53-6.7 is specific for the mouse CD8a (Ly-2) antigen, which is expressed on cytotoxic T cells and at lower levels on subpopulations of dendritic cells and TCRγ/δ+ cells. It is further detected on most thymocytes (CD4+CD8a+ and CD4–CD8+ thymocytes). Cytotoxic T cells and thymocytes express CD8a as heterodimer with CD8b, whereas dendritic cells and TCRγ/δ+ cells express a CD8a/CD8a homodimer. CD8a is present on approximately 10% of splenocytes, 25% of lymph node cells, and 85% of thymocytes in healthy mice. |
| Applications |
| The CD8a antibody can be used to identify and enumerate CD8a+ cells by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. This antibody is suitable for MACS® Control applications. For further details, please refer to the data sheet of the separation reagent. |
