Hyperexpanded CD4 <sup>+</sup> T cell clones in rheumatoid arthritis show attenuated senescence and accumulate in afflicted joints
2026-07-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objective</h4> Clonal hyperexpansion of CD4 + T cells is a characteristic feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Equally large T cell clones also arise in physiological ageing or latent viral infection and adopt a replicative senescence programme – a tolerance mechanism that limits immune activation by innate-like reprogramming and proliferative arrest. We aimed to characterise the senescence programme of hyp...
