Circulating CD3+HLA-DR+ Extracellular Vesicles as a Marker for Th1/Tc1-Type Immune Responses by Ryutaro Oba, Motomichi Isomura, Akira Igarashi, Kinya Nagata

“…In vitro analysis showed that CD3+CD4+ EVs and CD3+CD8+ EVs were selectively secreted from activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, respectively, and that CD3+HLA-DR+ EVs were actively secreted from not only Th1 but also activated CD8+ T (probably mostly Tc1) cells. To evaluate the clinical usefulness of these EVs, we measured the serum levels in patients with inflammatory diseases, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV, n=13) infection, atopic dermatitis (AD, n=10), rheumatoid arthritis (RA, n=20), and osteoarthritis (OA, n=20) and compared the levels with those of healthy adults (n=20). …”
