Target Details for CD8B

Target: CD8B (CD8b Molecule (CD8B))

Alternative Name: CD8 beta

Background: The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell to cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen, acting as a coreceptor, and the T cell receptor on the T lymphocyte recognize antigen displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. The functional coreceptor is either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains, or a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. 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.
