Description
Product Description
CD8 is a cell surface glycoprotein member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD8 consists of two chains, alpha and beta, which are expressed as a disulphide-linked alpha/beta heterodimer or as an alpha/alpha homodimer on a subset of T-cells, thymocytes and NK cells.15 The majority of CD8+ T cells express CD8 as alpha/beta heterodimer. CD8 functions as a co-receptor in concert with TCR for binding the MHC class I/peptide complex. The HIV-2 envelope glycoprotein binds CD8 alpha chain (but not beta chain). MHC class I restricted receptor; binds to nonpolymorphic region of class I molecules and may increase avidity of interactions between cytotoxic T-cell and target cell during antigen specific activation.15-17 Some T-cell lymphomas, such as mycosis fungoides, may aberrantly express CD8. CD8 may be used to aid in the identification of a subset of normal T-cells and sub-classification of T-cell lymphoma.16,17
