Pathogenic mechanisms in murine autoimmune thyroiditis: short- and long-term effects of in vivo depletion of CD4+ and CD8+ cells.
Both murine CD4+ and CD8+ cells are found in the thyroid infiltrate in experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) induced with mouse thyroglobulin (MTg). MTg activation of immune cells in vitro enables CD4+ cells to transfer thyroiditis adoptively and to aid the cytotoxic capacity of CD8+ cells for t...
