Abstract excerpt
TCR-αβ(+) double negative (DN) T cells (CD3(+) TCR-αβ(+) CD4(-) CD8(-) NK1.1(-) CD49b(-) ) represent a minor heterogeneous population in healthy humans and mice. These cells have been ascribed pro-inflammatory and regulatory capacities and are known to expand during the course of several autoimmune diseases. Importantly, previous studies have shown that self-reactive CD8(+) T cells become DN after activation by...
