T-cell receptor–HLA-DRB1 associations suggest specific antigens in pulmonary sarcoidosis
19 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
In pulmonary sarcoidosis, CD4(+) T-cells expressing T-cell receptor Vα2.3 accumulate in the lungs of HLA-DRB1*03(+) patients. To investigate T-cell receptor-HLA-DRB1*03 interactions underlying recognition of hitherto unknown antigens, we performed detailed analyses of T-cell receptor expression on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid CD4(+) T-cells from sarcoidosis patients.Pulmonary sarcoidosis patients (n=43) underwent...
