Abstract excerpt
Loss of tolerance for autoantigens is a common feature in autoimmune diseases. Bystander T-cell activation is the activation of T cells to produce functional changes through TCR-independent stimulation. Although bystander activation may be related to tolerance loss to multiple autoantigens, the activation mechanism of T cells directed to an autoantigen with limited amount is not clear. We investigated an...
