Target Details for CD8B

Target: CD8B (CD8b Molecule (CD8B))

Alternative Name: CD8 beta

Background: CD8b is expressed on most thymocytes and mature T cytotoxic/suppressor cells (MHC class I restricted). While the CD8a and CD8b form a heterodimer on the surface of thymocytes and thymus-dependent T cytotoxic/suppressor cells, the majority of NK cells, many CD8 T cells from athymic rats, many activated CD4 T cells, and intestinal epithelium lymphocytes (IEL) express CD8a without CD8b. This suggests that expression of the CD8 heterodimer (a/b) is more dependant on intrathymic T cell maturation than that of the homodimer (a/a). The thymus dependence of CD8a/b T cells may be due to a requirement for thymic selection on self MHC class I antigens.Synonyms: CD8B, CD8B1, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 beta chain
