blood samples.The CD3 antigen is a complex of at least six proteins known collectively as the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex. The antibody used in this reagent binds to the 20kDachain of this complex.
ε
The CD8 antigen is a complex consisting of two disulfide linked subunits. Theantibody used in this reagent binds to the 32KDa subunit of the complex.CD8
