Overview
CD8A Antibody is an antibody targeting CD8A. Host: Rabbit. Monoclonal. Clone: CD8/7793R. Format: Purified. Applications: IHC-P.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: CD8A.
- Immunogen: Recombinant human full-length CD8a protein was used as the immunogen for the CD8A antibody..
- Species reactivity: Human.
- Localization: Cell surface.
- Conjugate: Unconjugated (no label listed).
Biological background (from provided description)
This mAb is specific for the 32kDa alpha chain of human CD8, known as CD8a or CD8 alpha. CD8 is a cell surface receptor expressed either as a heterodimer with the CD8 beta chain (CD8 alpha/beta) or as a homodimer (CD8 alpha/alpha). A majority of thymocytes and a subpopulation of mature T cells and NK cells express CD8a.
Common research applications
- IHC: tissue distribution assessment; interpret with matched controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, paralogs, and post-translational modifications when interpreting signal.
- Support specificity with biological controls (e.g., KO/KD where available) and technical controls (e.g., secondary-only/isotype).
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
