Using recombinant technology, the original YTS 169.4 rat IgG2b constant region has been replaced with a murine IgG2a format which mediates potent cytotoxic functions [2].The anti-mCD8 YTS 169.4 mAb is commonly used for in vivo depletion of the CD8+ T cell population to study its role in various immune responses, including in a viral or tumoral context [3-5]. Depending on the nature of the experiment, extended treatment schedules (up to several months) may be required. Upon repeated injection of a xenogeneic mAb, mice produce anti–species antibodies, causing the removal of the administered mAb from circulation, thereby reducing its in vivo efficacy. Moreover, this immunogenicity can lead to fatal hypersensitivity reactions [6-7] which can be reduced by mAb murinization [8].CD8 background:The cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) receptor (formerly named T8) is a 34 kDa transmembrane protein primarily expressed on most thymocytes, and highly expressed by the peripheral mature CD8+ T cell population [9,10].  Two isoforms CD8α (Lyt-2) and CD8β (Lyt-3) are usually co-expressed and form a CD8α/β heterodimer that plays a critical role in CD8+ T cell development and activation. CD8α is mandatory for the development of MHC class I-restricted cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) [9]. CTLs recognize and eliminate infected cells and tumor cells upon the interaction between the TCR on the T cell and the MHC-peptide complex on the antigen-presenting cell [10-12]. Upon antigen recognition, the proximity association of CD8 and the TCR/CD3 complex on T cells triggers downstream intracellular signaling and participates in the cytotoxic T cell activation [9, 10]. Of note, CD8α/α homodimers have been shown to promote the survival and differentiation of activated CD8α/β T cells into memory CD8+ T cells [13]. Other immune cells, such as Natural Killer cells and subsets of dendritic cells also express CD8α [14]. Key features of Anti-mCD8-mIgG2a InvivoFit™:Derives from the YTS 169.4 clone, rat IgG2b, κFeatures the mIgG2a isotype (constant region)Guaranteed sterile, endotoxin level < 1 EU/mgSuitable for parental delivery in mice (azide-free)Low aggregation < 5%Produced in animal-free facilities and defined mediaAnti-mCD8-mIgG2a InvivoFit™ is produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, purified by affinity chromatography with protein A, and provided in an InvivoFit™ grade, a high-quality standard specifically adapted to in vivo studies. The specific binding of this mAb to cell surface mCD8α and its in vivo depleting function have been confirmed (see Figures). References:1. Cobbold S.P. et al., 1984.

Cells were then washed and incubated with 0.25 μg of goat anti-mouse κ-light chain coupled to PE for 1h at 4°C. Cell surface staining was analyzed by flow cytometry.Analysis of CD8+ T cell population in mice peripheral blood upon injection of Anti-mCD8-mIgG2a InvivoFit™ mAb.Blood samples (20 μl) from SWR/J mice aged 10 weeks were harvested 1 week prior to a series of intraperitoneal (IP) injections with the depleting Anti‑mCD8‑mIgG2a InvivoFit™ mAb (200 μg) or NaCl (control), and 24h after each IP injection. IP injections were performed at day 0, +3, and +7 (arrows). Thereafter, blood samples were harvested once a week. To assess the kinetics of the in vivo depletion of CD8+ T cells, peripheral blood was stained with the following conjugated antibodies: Anti-CD45-Pe-Cy7 (clone 30-F11), Anti-CD3e-PE (clone 145-2C11), Anti-CD4-FITC (clone RMA-4), and Anti-CD8-APC (clone H35-17.2) according to standard procedures.Cell surface staining was analyzed by flow cytometry. Data are represented as the frequency of CD8+ T cells among the total CD3+ T cell population.
