Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS: T-cell subpopulations and investigate their immunobiology in PBC. METHODS: cells in vivo was studied by 2-octynoic acid-BSA (2OA-BSA) immunization, Nudt1 conditional knock-out and adoptive co-transfer in a murine model. RESULTS: cell durable survival and TGFβ-Smad signaling. CONCLUSIONS: cell accumulation and longevity represents a novel therapeutic target in PBC. LAY SUMMARY: T cell subset, and worked out the mechanisms of its hyperactivation and longevity, which could be exploited therapeutically.
