In vivo expanded CD4+ T cells were autoreactive to ubiquitously distributed autoantigens and responded in an autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction, and T cell clones isolated from selected patients proliferated to Autologous peripheral blood adherent cells.Abstract:
Clonal expansion of CD4+ T cells is a characteristic finding in patients with RA and is only infrequently found in patients with psoriatic arthritis and healthy controls. Expanded CD4+ clonotypes are present in the blood, infiltrate into the joint, and persist over years. We have not addressed the question of whether the expanded clonotypes have unique functional and phenotypic properties which may explain the preferential in vivo expansion in RA. In contrast to most CD4+ T cells, expanded clonotypes lacked the expression of the CD28 and CD7 cell surface molecules. Accordingly, the subsets of CD4+ CD28- (9.7 vs 1.7, P = 0.00002) and CD4+ CD7- T cells (21.5 vs 12.26, P = 0.018) were increased in RA patients compared with age-matched normal individuals. Despite the lack of CD28 expression, clonally expanded CD4+ T cells were not anergic but proliferated in response to immobilized anti-CD3 and could be maintained in tissue culture. In vivo expanded CD4+ T cells were autoreactive to ubiquitously distributed autoantigens. They responded in an autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction, and T cell clones isolated from selected patients proliferated to autologous peripheral blood adherent cells. These data suggest that in RA patients selected CD4+ T cells which share the CD7- CD28- phenotype escape from peripheral tolerance.read more

TL;DR: It is found that a large proportion of HIV-specific CD8(+) T cells that produce cytokines in response to cognate antigen are unable to divide and die during a 48-hour in vitro culture.

TL;DR: A spontaneous mouse model of RA is described, generated fortuitously by crossing a T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic line with the NOD strain, and it is suggested that human RA develops by an analogous mechanism.

CD28− T cells: their role in the age-associated decline of immune function
TL;DR: Gene expression analyses reveal profound changes of CD28(-) T cells in comparison to theirCD28(+) counterparts and corroborate their functional differences, which indicate their role in the age-associated decline of immune function.

TL;DR: The unstable plaque but not the stable plaque is invaded by clonally expanded T cells, suggesting a direct involvement of these lymphocytes in plaque disruption.

Stimulation of T cell autoreactivity by anomalous expression of NKG2D and its MIC ligands in rheumatoid arthritis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that a profound dysregulation of NKG2D and its MIC ligands may cause autoreactive T cell stimulation, thus promoting the self-perpetuating pathology in RA and possibly other autoimmune diseases.

TL;DR: It is proposed that TCR-induced apoptosis in ATC can occur through an APO-1 ligand-mediated autocrine suicide, providing a mechanism for suppression of the immune response and for peripheral tolerance by T-cell deletion.

TL;DR: It is shown that receptor crosslinking induces Fas ligand and upregulates Fas, and that the ensuing engagement of Fas by Fasligand activates the cell-death programme.

The role of the CD28 receptor during T cell responses to antigen.
TL;DR: The CD28 costimulatory receptor represents a novel target for immunosuppressive drugs and induces tyrosine phosphorylation of specific substrates, including phospholipase C gamma 1, and triggers both calcium-dependent and calcium-independent signals.
