MILLIPLEX^® Human CD8+ T Cell Panel Serum-Free

CD8+ T cells (also known as cytotoxic T cells, cytolytic T cells and killer T cells) belong to a sub-group of T cells capable of inducing the death of infected somatic or tumor cells. T cells that bind weakly to Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) self-antigens are positively selected into single-positive CD4+ or CD8+ T cells in the thymus. Those CD8+ T cells that survive and mature after activation become cytotoxic cells, expressing T-cell receptors (TCRs) capable of recognizing specific antigenic peptides bound to Class I MHC molecules and the glycoprotein CD8. Affinity between the CD8 protein and the MHC molecule helps to keep the cytotoxic T cell and target closely bound during antigen specific activation. Once activated, CD8+ T cells are generally classified as having a predefined cytotoxic role within the immune system and undergo IL-2 induced clonal expansion, which increases the number of cells specific for the target antigen. The CD8+ T cells then travel throughout the body in search of antigen-positive somatic/tumor cells.

Simultaneously analyze up to 17 analytes in human cell culture supernatants.

Analytes included: GM-CSF, sCD137, IFNγ, sFas, sFasL, Granzyme A, Granzyme B, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, TNF-α, Perforin

• Enhanced Understanding of Immune Response: The ability to measure multiple cytokines and chemokines associated with CD8+ T cell activity aids researchers in understanding the immune response in various conditions, including infections and cancers.
• Streamlined Research Process: The overnight run time and simple sample preparation facilitate a more efficient research workflow, allowing for quicker data analysis and decision-making.
• Configurable Options for Diverse Research Needs: The ability to configure the panel ensures that researchers can adapt the kit to their specific study requirements, making it a versatile tool in immunology research.
• Comprehensive Analyte Detection: The panel includes 15 key analytes relevant to CD8+ T cell function and activity, such as GM-CSF, IFNγ, IL-2, Granzyme A, and Perforin, allowing for a detailed immune response analysis.
• Designed for Human Cell Culture Supernatants: Optimized for analyzing CD8+ T cell markers in cell culture supernatants.
