| Background | This product is a FCM antibody cocktail made up of APC Anti-Human CD3 Antibody [Clone: OKT-3] (Mouse IgG2a, κ), FITC Anti-Human CD4 Antibody [Clone: RPA-T4] (Mouse IgG1, κ) and PerCP/Cyanine5.5 Anti-Human CD8a Antibody [Clone: OKT-8] (Mouse IgG2a, κ).; CD3 is a heterotetrameric protein consisting of a CD3γ, a CDδ and 2 CD3ε. It forms complex with TCR. OKT-3 recognize human CD3ε. Human CD3 is expressed on the surface of T cells and NKT cells.; CD4 is also called Leu-3 or T4. It's a single-chain type I transmembrane glycoprotein, mainly expressed on the surface of T cells, and monocytes/macrophages. In T cells, CD4 forms complex with TCR/CD3 and play important roles in T cell immunity. The target of HIV is CD4+ T cells. Reduction of CD4+ T cells is the main reason of defected immunity after HIV infection.; CD8 is mainly expressed on cytotoxic T cells and also some subpopulations of NK cells. CD8 forms dimer function. In most cells, CD8 is a heterodimer consisting of CD8a and CD8b, but in NK cells nearly all CD8 is homodimer of CD8a. CD8a can form co-receptor with MHC-I restricted TCR to promote T cell antigen recognition and activation. |

Q1:In flow cytometry experiment, is it possible to detecet cytokine without stimulation?
Usually, it is difficult to do so. It might be able to detect the biomarker in some treatment group, but the concentration will be lower than the detection limit in more groups.
Q2:Are CD8 and CD8α the same index?
Yes they are. CD8 and CD8α are widely used markers for identifying cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). CD8 plays an important role in mediating the recognition and excution funtions of CTLs. CD8α is a subunit of CD8 complex, which means the α chain, and it is quite important in the formation of the complex. CD8α chain not only participates in the binding with MHC-I molecules, but also regulates the activity of CTLs by interacting with other signal molecules. Therefore, the expression level and functional status of CD8α can be used for evaluating the activation and effection of CTLs, as well as CD8.
Q3:Why centrifuge before use?
During the transportation of antibodies, antibodies will stick to the tube wall or cap due to turbulence. So after receiving the antibodies, moderate centrifugation will collect the antibodies on the tube wall or cap to the bottom of the tube to avoid the loss of antibodies.
Q4:What is the difference between the test-package and the weight-package of flow antibody products?
The usage of test-package antibodies is well designed and verified there is no need for an extra dilution before use. The weight-package antibody has a higher concentration, and requires a titration process for a suitable usage amount.
Q5:What is the concentration of primary antibody?
Our antibodies are concentrated, and the final concentration of the antibodies is not only related to the concentration of the antibodies themselves, but also to the abundance of the target protein in the sample. Therefore, the recommended dilution ratio for the antibodies provided in our instructions is a range, and the final dilution ratio needs to be determined through pre-experiments.You can also consult our technical team to get a recommendation of a suitable dilution ratio for your experimental conditions.
Q6:What does Isotype Control do? How to choose a suitable isotype control antibody?
Isotype control antibodies are used as the basis for determining negative and positive cells. It is necessart as a gating helper especially for the indicators with low expression or continuous expression.
The Isotype control was purified from the serum of non-immunized animals, it should be the same species source, same immunoglobulin and subtype, same fluorescein label, same dose and concentration as the stained monoclonal antibody.Q7:What does IHC mean on the datasheet? Is it a frozen tissue section? How is it different from IHC-F?
IHC is an immunohistochemical experiment, and the sections used generally include IHC-P (paraffin tissue section) and IHC-F (frozen tissue section).
Q8:What auxiliary reagents are needed for staining?
For samples with erythrocyte, ACK lysis buffer (E-CK-A105) is needed;
For cells that are rich in Fc receptors, such as macrophages, Fc receptors blocking is necessary before staining with flow Antibody to reduce the non-specific signal. At present, we can provide human and mouse blocking agent, E-AB-F1236A Purified Anti-Human CD16 Antibody[3G8]. E-AB-F0997A Purified Anti-Mouse CD16/32 Antibody[2.4G2].
Cell staining buffer (E-CK-A107) is required in the process of cell staining.
For the detection of intracellular indexes, a fixation & permeabilization kit is needed (E-CK-A109) ; and for the detection of intranuclear indexes, a specific staining kit (E-CK-A108) is required.
Dead cell dyes are also used for flow cytometry of tissue samples such as tumors.Q9:What are the requirements for centrifuge usage when preparing samples?
The centrifugal force of the centrifuge does not exceed 300g, the centrifugal speed does not exceed 3, and the centrifugal speed does not exceed 1, so as to avoid cell damage.
Q10:What are host and reactivity respectively?
Host refers to the species from which antibodies originate. Reactivity refers to species that have been experimentally proven to bind specifically to our antibodies.
