Overview

Product Description	FITC-conjugated Rat Monoclonal antibody [KT15] recognizes CD8a Rat anti mouse CD8α, clone KT15, recognizes the alpha chain of mouse CD8. CD8 is a heterodimeric protein composed of disulphide-linked CD8α and CD8β chains that is expressed primarily on cytotoxic T-cells. CD8 functions in the interaction with MHC Class I-bearing targets and plays a role in T-cell-mediated killing (Nakauchi , H. et al., 1985 & Nakauchi, H. et al., 1987).Clone KT15 is reported to block T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity in in vitro assays (Zeis, M. et al., 2002).

Bioinformation

Database Links	GeneID: 12525 Mouse CD8A Swiss-port # P01731 Mouse T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain
Gene Symbol	Cd8a
Gene Full Name	CD8 antigen, alpha chain
Background	CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen acts as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules. The coreceptor functions as either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains or as a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. This gene encodes the CD8 alpha chain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
Function	CD8 is an integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class I molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins while class II derived from extracellular proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class I proteins presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). This mechanism enables CTLs to recognize and eliminate infected cells and tumor cells. In NK-cells, the presence of CD8A homodimers at the cell surface provides a survival mechanism allowing conjugation and lysis of multiple target cells. CD8A homodimer molecules also promote the survival and differentiation of activated lymphocytes into memory CD8 T-cells. [UniProt]
