Outside Inside Histology

Rheumatoid Arthritis

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

No TNF-αααα

T cells in RA

May be stimulated by an antigen independent mechanism

Help maintain the chronic inflammation by supporting TNF-αααα production.
