CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted, mature suppressor/cytotoxic T cells, the great majority of cortical thymocytes and approximately 30% of medullary thymocytes. In addition, a proportion of γδ T cells and natural killer cells express CD8.
