Description

Description: In the chicken the CD8 molecule is present in two forms - (i) a homodimer of two a chains and (ii) a heterodimer of an a chain and a b chain. Chicken CD8 is expressed on approximately 80% of thymocytes, 45% of blood mononuclear cells, and 50% of spleen cells but less than 1% of cells in the bursa and bone marrow.While the vast majority of CD8+ cells in the thymus, spleen, and blood of adult chickens express both CD8a- and CD8b-chains, a relatively large proportion of the CD8+ TCRgd cells in the spleens of embryos and young chicks express only the a-chain of CD8. Among intestinal epithelial lymphocytes, the major CD8+ T cell populations present in mice are conserved but there is a population of TCRgd CD8ab cells in the chicken that is not found in rodents. The monoclonal antibody recognizes the CD8a chain of both the chicken and turkey.
