Direct recognition of LPS drive TLR4 expressing CD8+ T cell activation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract Aberrant immune responses characterize autoimmune disorders like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) wherein lymphocytes are recognized as key players. Role of CD8+ T cells in RA has been less defined however we found that these cells are activated in RA patients with increased expression of cytolyti...
