Target Details for CD8 alpha

Target: CD8 alpha (CD8A) (CD8a Molecule (CD8A))

Alternative Name: CD8a

Background: In the chicken, the CD8 molecule is present in two forms: (i) a homodimer of two chains, and (ii) a heterodimer of an chain and a chain. Chicken CD8 is expressed on approximately 80 % of thymocytes, 45 % of blood mononuclear cells and 50 % of spleen cells, but < 1 % of cells in the bursa and bone marrow. While the vast majority of CD8+ cells in the thymus, spleen, and blood of adult chickens express both CD8- and CD8-chains, a relatively large proportion of the CD8+ TCR- cells in the spleens of embryos and young chicks express only the -chain of CD8. Among intestinal epithelial lymphocytes, the major CD8+ T cell populations present in mice are conserved, but there is a population of TCR- CD8 cells in the chicken that is not found in rodents.
