U-Blot® CD8 a Rabbit mAb (Ready to Use)

Background：The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions withinThe immune system.The CD8 antigen acts as a coreceptor withThe T-cell receptor onThe T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell inThe 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 encodesThe CD8 alpha chain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found forThis gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011],
