Human thymocytes/Sezary T cells

Human CD8 is a heterodimeric protein consisting of an alpha and beta chain, each about 33kD. CD8 is expressed on most thymocytes and on about one third of peripheral blood T cells. CD8 is a co-receptor involved in antigen recognition and binds to the alpha2 and alpha3 domain of MHC Class I molecules.
