NKG2D+CD4+ T Cells Kill Regulatory T Cells in a NKG2D-NKG2D Ligand- Dependent Manner in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) features a decreased pool of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells. We had previously observed NKG2D+CD4+ T cell expansion in contrast to a decreased pool of Treg cells in SLE patients, but whether NKG2D+CD4+ T cells contribute to the decreased Treg ce...
