SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody LT8 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD8, a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. This antibody blocks Leu2 binding.
ApplicationFC (QC tested)
Application detailsFlow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 4 μl reagent / 100 μl of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (0.4 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
ReactivityNon-human primates, Human
Immunogenhuman blood lymphocytes
PreparationThe purified antibody is conjugated with Pacific Blue™ under optimum conditions. The conjugate is purified by size-exclusion chromatography.
FormulationStabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution containing 15mM sodium azide
Storage and handlingStore in the dark at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Avoid prolonged exposure to light. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label.
