A critical role for DAP10 and DAP12 in CD8+ T cell–mediated tissue damage in large granular lymphocyte leukemia

Abstract excerpt

Large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia, or LGLL, is characterized by increased numbers of circulating clonal LGL cells in association with neutropenia, anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, and pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). Emerging evidence suggests that LGLL cells with a CD8(+)CD28(null) phenotype induce these clinical manifestations through direct destruction of normal tissue. Compared with CD8(+)CD28(null) T...
