    Abstract : Pulmonary sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology, characterised by an accumulation of CD4+ T-cells in the alveolar compartment and by granuloma formation and varying degrees of interstitial fibrosis. The initial clinical presentation may either be acute with fever, malaise, arthritis and/or erythema nodosum or insidious with cough, dyspnea, tiredness, and loss of weight. READ MORE

  6. 4. T cell antigen receptor usage, phenotype and cytokine production in human diseases

    Keywords : T cell; T cell receptor; T cell expansion; phenotype; cytokine; extrinsic allergic alveolitis; allergic asthma; multiple myeloma; Wegener s granulomatosis; sarcoidosis;

    Abstract : T lymphocytes are of critical importance for initiating and controlling immune responses, as the T cell receptor (TCR) for antigen allows a highly specific antigen recognition. Determination of TCR usage and characterization of T cell subsets in different diseases helps us understand the underlying immunopathogenic mechanisms, and may also lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches.
