Flow cytometric analysis of Mouse CD8α expression on C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes. C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes were stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 Antibody and either FITC Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Left panel) or SDT FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD8a Antibody (Right panel) at 0.25 μg/test. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using BD FACSymphony™ A1 and FlowJo™ software.

Background
CD8α encodes the CD8 alpha chain of the αβT cells, proposed as a quantifiable indicator for CD8+ CTL recruitment or activity assessments and a robust biomarker for responses to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. In NK-cells, the presence of CD8A homodimers at the cell surface provides a survival mechanism allowing conjugation and lysis of multiple target cells. CD8A homodimer molecules also promote the survival and differentiation of activated lymphocytes into memory CD8 T-cells.
