BackgroundThe CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that serves as a coreceptor for TCR recognition of MHC class I–associated peptides and supports CTL activation by binding to the MHC, while making no direct contact with the peptide.
ImmunogenSynthetic peptide corresponding to CD8α residues within aa135-235 of CD8α was used as an immunogen
