CD8 is a cell surface glycoprotein expressing on thymocytes subsets and cytotoxic T cells and is either a homodimer of two alpha chains, or a heterodimer of one alpha and one beta chain. It acts as a coreceptor during T cell activation through the binding of MHC Class I molecules and is found on T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. CD8 associates with LCK with the help of a zinc clasp structure and down-regulates the production of major Th2-type cytokines. CD8 is also known to recruit pUL97 thereby inducing dissolution of the nuclear lamina and facilitating the nuclear export of viral capsids.
