A Newly Generated DOCK8-expressing T Follicular Helper Cell Type, aiCD4 T Cell, Causes Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Self-Organized Criticality Theory
2020-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypical autoimmune disease of unknown cause. We show here that a novel T follicular helper cell type expressing the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8 on the cell surface causes SLE. These cells, which we have designated autoantibody-inducing CD4 T (aiCD4 T) cells, are generated after resuscitation from anergy following strong TCR stimulation by antigen. When mice...
