Abstract:Background
Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been considered to be a T cell-dependent autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), and so does the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model. Recent studies have revealed a specific subset of CD8 T cells, known as CD8 follicular T cells (CD8+CXCR5+ T), are involved in antiviral, anti-tumor immunity, and systemic autoimmunity. While the role of CD8+CXCR5+ T cells in MS and EAE remains unclear.
Methods
We detected CD8+CXCR5+ T cell frequency in t… Show more
