The c~ 3 T-cell receptor (TCR) expressed by most T lymphocytes recognizes foreign antigen (Ag) associated with class I or class II proteins encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC; Germain 1994). CD8 and CD4 are molecules expressed by distinct subsets of T cells and are referred to as T-cell co-receptors because they aid the TCR in these recognition events (Parnes 1989; Miceli and Parnes 1993). The mutually exclusive pattern of expression of these co-receptors distinguishes the two sublineages of c~ TCR T cells: CD8+ CD4-/cytotoxic T cells which recognize Ag bound to class I MHC, and CD8-CD4+/helper T cells which recognize Ag bound to class II MHC (Germain 1994; Miceli et al. 1994) _ CD8 (usually expressed as a heterodimer of CD8c~ and CD8 [~ chains) and CD4 undergo a complex pattern of regulated expression during T-cell maturation. In the thymus, the most immature cells progress from expressing neither CD8 nor CD4 (the double-negative/DN stage) to an intermediate stage at which both are co-expressed (the double-positive/DP stage). As a result of thymic selection and further differentiation, DP cells give rise to the most mature thymic cells, and finally, to peripheral T cells which are either MHC class I-restricted CDS+ CD4-CTL or MHC class II-restricted CD8-CD4+ helpers (yon Boehmer 1988; Rothenberg 1992).
