• Note: The CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T-lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T-cell receptor (TCR). TCR is a heterodimer composed of either α and β or γ and δ chains. CD3 chains and the CD4 or CD8 co-receptors are also required for efficient signal transduction through the TCR. The TCR is expressed on T-helper and cytotoxic T-cells that can be distinguished by their expression of CD4 and CD8 respectively. CD8 binds to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, but is specific for the class I MHC protein. A primary function of CD8 is to facilitate antigen recognition by the TCR and to strengthen the avidity of the TCR-antigen interactions. The CD8 co-receptor is predominantly expressed on the surface of suppressor and cytotoxic T-cells at a low level by NK cells, large granular lymphocyte leukemia, and some T-ALL/T-LBL.For mature T-cells, CD4 and CD8 are mutually exclusive, so anti-CD8, generally used in conjunction with anti-CD4, is a useful marker for distinguishing helper/inducer T-lymphocytes, and most peripheral T-cell lymphomas (CD4+/CD8-). Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is usually CD4+ and CD8-, and in T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, CD4 and CD8 are often co-expressed. CD8 is also found in littoral cell angioma of the spleen.
