Lymph Node
Rat OX-8 (CD8) expressed in many T-cells in the paracortex of the lymph node.
Peyer's Patch
Rat OX-8 (CD8) expression in interfollcular cells of small intestinal Peyer’s patch.
Small Intestine
Rat small intestine showing expression of OX-8 in intra-epithelial lymphocytes.
Spleen
Rat spleen OX8 (CD8) expression in the PALS and red pulp T-cells.

Thymus
