CD8 is a heterodimeric glycoprotein consisting of an alpha and beta chain
It is expressed on cytolytic T cells and functions in conjunction with the T cell receptor in the recognition of MHC/peptide complexes
The resulting column eluate is a highly enriched T cell subset population with minimal depletion of the selected T cells Minimal B cells, monocytes, or non-selected T cell subsets Recovery of CD3+/CD8+ cells from all available CD3+/CD8+ cells loaded ranged between 29% and 37% Purity of recovered cells ranged between 83% and 88% with no detectable CD3+/CD4+ in the recovered cells
