Mouse monoclonal [11/295/33] antibody to CD8 alpha.
Specificity
This antibody recognises an epitope on the alpha chain of porcine CD8. Clone 11/295/33 detects a different epitope from that bound by clone 76-2-11.In addition to thymocytes and cytotoxic T cells, CD8 alpha is expressed on porcine NK cells. Swine CD8 alpha+CD3- NK cells are divided into NKp46+ (CD335) and NKp46- cells. A further CD8 alpha dim/- NKp46 high NK cell population can be found in porcine spleen and liver (Mair et al. 2012, 2013). Pigs are also remarkable in having significant levels of peripheral CD4 CD8 double positive T cells (Saalmüller et al. 1987; Zuckermann 1999).
