In histological studies, CD8 T cells can be identified using various techniques. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is one of the most common methods. In IHC, antibodies specific to the CD8 molecule are used to stain tissue sections, allowing for the visualization of CD8 T cells under a microscope. Flow cytometry is another technique used to quantify and analyze CD8 T cells in a sample, typically blood or lymphoid tissue.
