I have some ideas to add to the article. A citation could be added to the info already there or could just be removed entirely. I am planning to add the specific role of CD8+ T cells in the immune system, using this article (https://www.immunology.org/public-information/bitesized-immunology/cells/cd8-t-cells) as my source. This article gives the overall gist and main functions of the CD8+ T cell, describing what kind of cells they destroy and how they destroy them. I also would like to include a section detailing the CD8 protein structure and how it relates to its function, based on both the previously mentioned article and this source (http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P01732). These sources provide evidence as to how the CD8 structural components work together to recognize and bind infected cells. Another section that could be included is the origin of CD8+ T cells (i.e. how they're made). This source (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20636815) details information and evidence on the pathway a progenitor cells goes through to become the final CD8+ T cell product. Regulation of the CD8+ T cell gene by transcription factors could also be included, and can be evidenced by a study (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.913.2257&rep=rep1&type=pdf) showing that a decrease in the Eomesodermin transcription factor results in a decrease in amount of perforin produced by CD8+ T cells. I would also like to add info on its role in diseases, such as HIV infection and Type 1 diabetes. A study on CD8+ T cell roll in HIV infection (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15053338) showed that HIV viruses have adopted strategies to evade CD8+ T cell response. A study on CD8+ T cell role in Type 1 diabetes showed that CD8+ T cells also engaged in the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic cells (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19111164) in addition to CD4+ T cells. Please let me know what you all think and any input you might have.
