Defective synthesis or association of T-cell receptor chains underlies loss of surface T-cell receptor–CD3 expression in enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma
24 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, an often fatal complication of celiac disease, can result from expansion of aberrant intraepithelial lymphocytes in refractory celiac disease type II (RCD II). Aberrant intraepithelial lymphocytes and lymphoma cells are intracellularly CD3epsilon(+) but lack expression of the T-cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex on the cell surface. It is unknown what causes the loss of...
