Detailed product information

Background information

The CD8 antigen forms a complex together with the T cell receptor and acts as an accessory molecule in the recognition of MHC class I/peptide complexes by the TCR heterodimer on CD8

⁺

cytotoxic T cells. The CD8 molecule consists of either an α/β heterodimer or an α/α homodimer. It is expressed strongly on cytotoxic T cells and dimly on a subset of NK cells. CD8 is found on most thymocytes and on about one third of all peripheral blood T cells. CD8

⁺

cytotoxic T cells play an important role in the killing of virus-infected cells and tumor cells.

Downstream applications

Isolation or depletion of CD8

⁺

cytotoxic T cells is performed in many different research fields such as infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, allergy, and asthma, as well as tumor immunology.

Cytotoxic T cells isolated by MACS® Technology remain viable and functional. Therefore, they can be used for further functional studies, such as proliferation assays

Anti-Human CD8 Microbeads - A Consistent and Reliable Method to Positively Select CD8+ T Cells from PBMC

CD8 MicroBeads, human (130-045-201)

Our lab routinely works with purified immune cell subsets from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). In order to obtain highly pure CD8+ T cells, as well as other immune cell types, we routinely employ magnetic separation with Miltenyi products for positive selection because of their ease of use and minimal optimization. We require highly pure CD8+ T cells due to the nature of our downstream analysis, and this product helps us achieve this goal.

MicroBeads For Purification Of Human CD8 Positive Cells

CD8 MicroBeads, human (130-045-201)

The general aim of my research is to investigate the role of TCRs in the function of CTLs. For that we isolated TCR genes from T cell clones isolated from HIV patients and cloned them into lentiviral vectors to use for transduction of primary CD8 T cells isolated from naive patients. These transduced cells are then used for further study to evaluate their ability to recognize their cognate peptide and their killing capacity of infected cells. We selected this product because we had access to the AutoMACSpro, an automated machine used for cell separation compatible with these beads.

CD8 Microbeads Review

CD8 MicroBeads, human (130-045-201)

We are interested in enhancing the killing capacity of HIV-specific CD8 T cells by reengineering TCRs expressed by these cells. We use purified CD8 T cells from donors with known HLA types, to transduce them with the desired lentiviral construct and test their in vitro activity against HIV infected cells.
