Product Name:

Brilliant Violet 605™ anti-mouse CD8a Antibody

Catalog Number:

100743

I use this antibody in flow cytometry assays to detect CD8+ T cells. In my experience the antibody works well and stains CD8+ cells very specifically. The signal is very bright, and it can fit into many panels due to its unique emission spectrum. However when used in a panel containing a PE antibody it will produce some spreading which may be difficult to compensate.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Mouse blood, spleen or lung

Primary Incubation

1:200 30 min at 4C

Results Summary

This antibody is good for detecting CD8+ cells, but may interfere with signals from other fluorophores such as PE. It is important to titrate antibodies to produce optimal results.
