| Exact synonym | CD8-positive, gamma-delta intraepithelial T lymphocyte differentiation, CD8-positive, gamma-delta intraepithelial T-cell differentiation, CD8-positive, gamma-delta intraepithelial T-lymphocyte differentiation |
| Description | The process in which a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of a CD8-positive, gamma-delta intraepithelial T cell. Intraepithelial T cells are found among epithelial cells in mucosal areas and have distinct phenotypes and developmental pathways. |
| Related synonym | CD8-positive, gamma-delta intraepithelial T cell development |
| Comment | Note that immunologists typically use the word 'development' to refer to cells of B or T cell lineages undergoing the process that GO describes as 'cell differentiation'. |
