Abstract excerpt
The prognosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), such as Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's disease (HD), are difficult to predict. Both CD80 and CD86 costimulatory signals promote T cell activation in cooperation with T cell receptor signal. To clarify whether any association between CD80 and CD86 and the pathogenesis of AITD exist, we examined the expressions and gene polymorphisms of CD80 and CD86. We...
