T cells in RA
Low rate of proliferation
Low response to stimulation
Very low level of cytokine production ex vivo
However:
-
T cells in RA
MHC association
T cell targeted therapies are beneficial
total lymph node irradiation
thoracic duct drainage
anti-CD4 therapy
Glucocorticoid injection
-
T cells in RA
Antigen specific?
Similar clonal expansions as in periphery.
Flu specific T cells in joint after vaccination.
-
T cells in RA
Alternative mechanism of activation

IL-6, TNF-αααα, IL-2

T cells in RA
May be stimulated by an antigen independent mechanism
Help maintain the chronic inflammation by supporting TNF-αααα production.
