Notes générales
Mouse anti Pig CD8 beta chain, clone PPT23, recognizes the porcine homologue of the human CD8 beta chain cell surface antigen.Characterization of clone PPT23, also known under the clone designation FYP1C5, has demonstrated that on peripheral blood lymphocytes and spleen, this antibody binds to cells that are CD3+, CD4-, CD8hi and as such defines this antibody as a specific marker of porcine a/ß T cells, in thymic tissue both CD8lo and CD8hi cells are recognized (Yang & Parkhouse 1997). Mouse anti Pig CD8 beta chain, clone PPT23 recognizes a different epitope on the CD8 beta chain to clone PPT22.
