Background Information
CD8b (T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 beta chain) is an integral membrane glycoprotein that forms disulfide-linked heterodimers with CD8a (CD8 alpha chain). The CD8 alpha/beta heterodimer is the predominant CD8 complex expressed on the cell surface (PMID: 1534146; 2111591). CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein predominantly expressed on cytotoxic T cells and can also be found on natural killer cells, cortical thymocytes, and dendritic cells. CD8 serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Both CD8 and TCR recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. CD8 plays a role in T cell development and activation of mature T cells.
