Label

PE is an oligomeric protein complex (270 kDa) from red algae that exhibits intensely bright red-orange fluorescence with excitation peak at 566 nm and an emission peak at 574 nm. The complex consists of six heterodimers, α subunit (18 kDa) and β-subunit (20 kDa), and an additional γ-subunit (34 kDa).

Background

CD8 is a co-receptor for the TCR (T cell receptor) in T cells, binding to MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class I proteins. CD8 is a typical marker of cytotoxic T cells and is involved in signaling. CD8 has two isoforms, a and b. CD8b recruits Lck (lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase) to the TCR-CD3 complex, and Lck phosphorylates multiple proteins involved in activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. It is thus critical for the lysis of cancer cells.
