Background	CD8 exists in two forms: a CD8 heterodimer composed of a α chain and a ß chain; and a homodimer of two α chains (CD8α = Lyt2, Ly2, OX8). The heterodimer is found on essentially all thymocytes and the “suppressor/cytotoxic” subpopulation of mature T lymphocytes. CD8 acts as a coreceptor with MHC Class I-restricted T cell receptors in antigen recognition and positive selection of MHC-Class I-restricted CD8+ T cells. CD8 is required for the development of cytotoxic T cells. (Ledbetter JA et al, 1979, Nat. Rev. Immunol., 47, 63: 425-30)
Synonyms	CD8 alpha chain, CD8A, MAL
