Longitudinal analysis of T-cell receptor repertoires reveals persistence of antigen-driven CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell clusters in systemic sclerosis
8 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
The T-cell receptor (TCR) is a highly polymorphic surface receptor that allows T-cells to recognize antigenic peptides presented on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Changes in the TCR repertoire have been observed in several autoimmune conditions, and these changes are suggested to predispose autoimmunity. Multiple lines of evidence have implied an important role for T-cells in the pathogenesis of...
