Background: CD8

CD8 is a dimeric complex made up of two Ig superfamily members (1). The CD8 alpha chain is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that can dimerize with either itself forming CD8 alpha alpha, or with a 30-35 kDa CD8 beta chain, forming CD8 alpha beta (2). CD8 alpha contains one V-type Ig-like domain in its extracellular region that binds to class I MHC molecules. CD8 alpha beta is a TCR co-receptor, while CD8 alpha alpha promotes T cell survival and differentiation (1, 3). The mature feline CD alpha consists of a 167 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD), and runs at ~30 kDa on reduced SDS-PAGE. Within the ECD, feline CD8 alpha shares 58%, 47%, 51%, and 69% amino acid sequence identity with human, mouse, porcine, and canine CD8 alpha, respectively.
