Gene

CD8A

ENSG00000153563
Summary
The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen acts as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules. The coreceptor functions as either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains or as a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. This gene encodes the CD8 alpha chain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The major protein isoforms of this gene differ by the presence or absence of a transmembrane domain and thus differ in being a membrane-anchored or secreted protein. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Gene Knockout Kits Provide Superior Editing Efficiency in iPSC, Immortalized, and Primary Cells and Consistent Protein Depletion Using the XDel Design

Figure 1. A) On-target editing efficiency of XDel multiple guide design (MGKO) (pink bars) vs their 3 respective single-guide RNAs (blue bars) across 7 endogenous target loci transfected in two immortalized (IMM) and two iPSC cell lines. Each transfection was performed in triplicate and data were analyzed via NGS by EditCo’s proprietary software analysis. B) Western blot analyses for all 5 knockout target genes indicate a complete depletion of proteins across the 3 specified time points (days 7, 14, and 21) relative to the negative controls. Knockout cell pools for the target genes were generated by nucleofecting U2OS cells with multi-guide sgRNA and Cas9 (as RNPs). A negative control pool was also transfected for each target using non-targeting sgRNA.
