CD8 Antibody (2.43) is a rat monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects CD8 in mouse samples through immunofluorescence (IF) and flow cytometry (FCM) applications. CD8 is a crucial cell surface glycoprotein that forms a heterodimer, typically existing as either an αα or αβ chain complex, and plays a vital role in the immune response by binding to class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules presented by antigen-presenting cells. This interaction is essential for T cytotoxic cells, which express CD8, as CD8 enhances the recognition of antigens by the T cell receptor (TCR), thereby strengthening the immune response against infected or malignant cells. Additionally, CD8-expressing T cells are implicated in maintaining low levels of HIV expression, highlighting their importance not only in direct cytotoxicity but also in regulating viral load. The ability of CD8 to facilitate antigen recognition and enhance TCR avidity underscores CD8′s significance in adaptive immunity, making anti-CD8 antibody (2.43) an invaluable tool for researchers studying T cell dynamics and immune responses in mouse models.
