Background

CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is predominantly expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells, and can also be found on natural killer cells, cortical thymocytes, and dendritic cells. CD8 is composed of two disulfide-linked chains and can be present as a homodimer of CD8α or as a heterodimer of CD8α and CD8β. The majority of class I-restricted T cells express mostly the CD8αβ heterodimer while CD8αα homodimers alone have been found on some gut intraepithelial T cells , on some T cell receptor (TCR) γδ T cells and on NK cells. CD8 acts as a co-receptor that binds to MHC class-I and participates in cytotoxic T cell activation. During T cell development, CD8 is required for positive selection of CD4-/CD8+ T cells.
