TNF-blockade has shown clear therapeutic value in rheumatoid arthritis and other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, however its mechanism of action is not fully elucidated. We investigated the effects of TNF-blockade on CD4+ T cell activation, maturation, and proliferation, and assessed whether TNF-inhibitors confer regulatory potential to CD4+ T cells. CyTOF and flow cytometry analysis revealed that in vitro...
