| CD8 |
A molecule on the surface of a subset of T-lymphocytes referred to as cytotoxic T cells. CD8 plays an essential role in the process by which cytotoxic T cells recognise and respond to their cognate antigens presented by class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) components present on the surface of host cells.
