Anti-MGC119115 Usage And Synthesis

Uses

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. CD8B is the CD8 beta chain isoforms.

Biological Activity

The CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8 or CD8b molecule) helps to identify the monomorphic determinants on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens, and in signal transduction at the time of T-cell activation.
