Inclusion Body Myositis: Clonal Expansions of Muscle‐Infiltrating T Cells Persist Over Time
21 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a chronic inflammatory myopathy. The muscle histology is characterized by infiltration of T cells, which invade and apparently destroy muscle fibres. This study was performed to investigate whether predominant clones of muscle-infiltrating T cells are identical in different muscles and whether they persist over time in IBM. By reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, 25...
