| Description: | The 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, acting as a coreceptor, and the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte recognize antigen displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. The functional coreceptor is either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains, or a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. |
| Further Information: | This CD8B antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 64-92 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human CD8B. |
| Synonym: | T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 beta chain, CD8b, CD8B, CD8B1 |
