In the chicken, the CD8 molecule is present in two forms: (i) a homodimer of two chains, and (ii) a heterodimer of an chain and a chain.1 While the vast majority of CD8+ cells in the thymus, spleen, and blood of adult chickens express both CD8- and CD8-chains, a relatively large proportion of the CD8+ TCR- cells in the spleens of embryos and young chicks express only the -chain of CD8. Among intestinal epithelial lymphocytes, the major CD8+ T cell populations present in mice are conserved, but there is a population of TCR- CD8 cells in the chicken that is not found in rodents.3 Chicken CD8 is expressed on approximately 80 % of thymocytes, 45 % of blood mononuclear cells and 50 % of spleen cells, but <1 % of cells in the bursa and bone marrow.
