[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CD8A_HUMAN CD8A_HUMAN]] Defects in CD8A are a cause of familial CD8 deficiency (CD8 deficiency) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/608957 608957]]. Familial CD8 deficiency is a novel autosomal recessive immunologic defect characterized by absence of CD8+ cells, leading to recurrent bacterial infections.  

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CD8A_HUMAN CD8A_HUMAN]] Identifies cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells that interact with MHC class I bearing targets. CD8 is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. CD8 alpha chains binds to class I MHC molecules alpha-3 domains.
