Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human tonsil tissue reacted with CD8A Antibody (N-term), which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining.
The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen, acting as a coreceptor, and the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte recognize antigen displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. The functional coreceptor is either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains, or a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains.1) Mancebo,E., Mol. Immunol. 45 (2), 479-484 (2008)
