Applications: Study CD8-MHC class I interactionGeneration of a stable cell line expressing CD8a with puromycin selection

Description: CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that functions within the immune system to mediate cell-cell interactions. The functional forms of CD8 consist of either a heterodimer of two isoforms, CD8α and CD8β, or a homodimer of two CD8α molecules. CD8 acts as a coreceptor to facilitate binding between the T-cell Receptor (TCR) and the class I Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC).  Studying CD8 and its importance in isoimmunity can further our understanding of post-transplant recognition.The CD8a (CD8α, CD8 alpha) Lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to transduce nearly all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a human CD8a (NM_001768.6) driven by an EF1a promoter and a puromycin selection marker.)

Formulation: The lentivirus particles were produced from HEK293T cells. They are supplied in cell culture medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS.

Storage Stability: Lentiviruses are shipped with dry ice. For long term storage, it is recommended to store the virus at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.

Supplied As: Two vials (500 µl x 2) of lentivirus at a titer ≥10⁷ TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.

Uniprot: P01732

Warnings: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Biosafety Level: BSL-2
