TL;DR: Further studies are needed to determine whether the selective expansion of the γδ T cell subpopulation observed during the clinical course of the infection is driven by antigenic determinant(s) borne by the pathogen in vivo or is due to host‐derived stimuli, such as autologous heat‐shock proteins expressed on the surface of the infected cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that milk T lymphocytes are almost exclusively composed of the one which exhibits the CD45Rlow, CDw29, UCHL1, LFA-1 high memory T cell phenotype.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated long-term immunologic effects of therapeutic thymectomy in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and found that the association between MG and laboratory findings of systemic autoimmune disease may be in part related to Tx rather than to MG.

TL;DR: Interestingly, the in vivo and in vitro studies provide evidence that apoptosis is the basic mechanism through which corticosteroid treatment acts on this T-lymphocyte type, thereby confirming the results of previous investigations.

TL;DR: Data from this study strongly support an involvement of CD30+ T cells in the immune processes of rheumatoid synovitis, and may suggest a relationship between Th2‐type cytokine‐secreting T cells and the pathological response in RA.
