Method of isolating CD8+ cells, and related hybridoma cells, antibodies and polypeptides

摘要

This invention provides a method of isolating CD8⁺ cells which employs an antibody which specifically binds to CD8 molecules present on the surface of CD8⁺ cells but does not activate the CD8⁺ cells once bound. This invention also provides related hybridoma cell lines, monoclonal antibodies, antigenic polypeptides, isolated CD8⁺ cells, and kits.
