In Vivo Grade Recombinant Anti-Mouse CD8a Rat IgG2b Kappa Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 2.43)

The rat anti-mouse CD8a monoclonal antibody 2.43 (rat IgG2b kappa) reacts with the mouse CD8a protein (T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain) encoded by the mouse CD8A gene that encodes the CD8a chain of the dimeric CD8 protein. The mouse CD8 protein is primarily responsible for cell-mediated immune defense and T-cell development. CD8A has been widely reported as a potential prognosis and diagnostic marker for several diseases, such as inflammatory disorders and tumors. It was shown that the anti-mouse CD8a rat monoclonal antibody (clone number: 2.43) can be used for depleting activity in vivo.
