Im8 is the immunity protein produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin E8]] to protect itself against Colicin E8's [[DNase Activity]], by binding to the enzymatic C domain and inhibiting its activity. This occurs to prevent the cell that produces the colicin from being killed. Im8 is later released when the [[Colicin]] binds to [[BtuB]], the outer membrane receptor on the target cell.
