PE anti-mouse CD8a Antibody

I performed staining of mouse CD8 T cells, which were harvested from the splenocytes of a wild-type C57BL/6 mouse using bead based negative selection. The population of cells obtained was stained with a 1:200 dilution of this antibody and analyzed using flow cytometry. The figure shows that 97% of the cells were positive for CD8a expression, suggesting that purity of cells was high. There is a distinct shift in the fluorescence of positive cells compared to negative with little or no background staining.

Summary

The Good

Bright expression and low price

The Bad

Titration required

The Bottom Line

I would recommend this antibody for CD8 staining as it is priced much lower than competitors and works at least equally as well.
