CD8 Profile


The CD8 Profile test evaluates the levels of CD8 T-lymphocytes in your blood, which are responsible for identifying and destroying infected or abnormal cells. Changes in CD8 levels may be seen in infections, immune disorders, or during immune system monitoring. This test is commonly used alongside other immune markers to provide a clearer picture of immune system activity.
