Abstract
The present study is aimed at exploring the regulatory CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in the thymus from myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. In early-onset MG, the thymus is hyperplastic and contains autoreactive activated T cells. Preliminary studies indicate that these CD4(+)CD25(+) cells include activated autoreactive T cells. Studies to characterize the phenotype and suppressive capacity of these cells will be discussed.Entities:
