---|---|---|
T1D | Islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein (IGRP)206–214-reactive CD8+ T (self-reactive T cells) in T1D may inherently have a restricted TCR library as well as a substantial TCR motif overlap | Kasmani et al. (2022) |
T1D | It has identified a class of autoreactive TCRs from human IAR (islet antigen reactive) CD4+ T cells in patients with T1D that share the feature of germline alpha chains | Linsley et al. (2021) |
AIH | Identified the central memory CD45RA−CD27+PD-1+CXCR5−CCR6− CD4+ T cell population as the significant self-reactive CD4+ T cell pool in AIH | Renand et al. (2020) |
pSjD | T cell receptor alpha and beta chain variable genes of TRAV13-2 and TRBV7-9 were significantly expanded in patients with pSjD | Hong et al. (2020) |
pSjD | The degree of TCR clonal expansion did not differ significantly between the pSjD patients and healthy individuals. Still, the frequencies of T cells with dual TCR β-chain expression were reduced considerably in pSjD patients | Hou et al. (2022) |
SLE | Found CD8+ kidney-infiltrating T cells (KIT) first existed in a transitional state, then clonally expanded and evolved to depletion in the kidney | Smita et al. (2022) |
T1D, Type 1 diabetes; AIH, Autoimmune hepatitis; pSjD, Primary Sjögren’s disease; SLE, Systemic lupus erythematosus.
