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
Recovery of CD3+/8+ cells from all available CD3+/8+ cells loaded ranged between 34% and 52% Purity of recovered cells ranged between 80% and 88% with no detectable CD3+/4+ cells in the recovered population Monocyte cell suspensions are incubated with a mixture of monoclonal antibodies and then loaded onto T Cell Subset Columns B cells, nonselected T cells and monocytes bind to glass beads coated with anti-immunoglobulin via both F(ab) and Fc interactions
