CD8 marks the T cells that kill: the ones that recognise a cancer cell and destroy it. How many CD8 cells sit inside a tumour, and where, is one of the few immune measurements that predicts how a cancer will behave. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Co-receptor on cytotoxic T cells; binds MHC class I and marks the killing lineage. The beta chain is CD8B (HGNC:1707).
