Epitope specificity of clonally expanded populations of CD8+ T cells found within the joints of patients with inflammatory arthritis.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hypothesis that clonality of synovial T cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis is at least partly due to the presence of virus-specific T cells expressing a restricted repertoire of T cell receptors (TCRs). METHODS: Using fluorescently labeled HLA class I-peptide...
