Restricted expression of T cell receptor V<sub>β</sub> but not V<sub>α</sub> genes in rheumatoid arthritis
1 Feb 1991
Abstract excerpt
Synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis contain activated T lymphocytes that may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Previous studies have suggested that the T cell receptor (TcR) repertoire of these cells is restricted, reflecting in vivo selection of a limited number of T cell specificities at the site of inflammation. To characterize better these T cell populations we used...
