Abstract
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is associated with specific HLA-DR genotypes with an emphasis on the role of CD4+ effector-memory T cells (Tem) in disease pathogenesis. However, single cell sequencing technologies identified large numbers of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) with distinct granzyme expression profiles infiltrating RA synovial tissue (ST) in active, established RA. Here we assessed T cell clonotypes in ST and peripheral blood (PB) of patients with recent-onset untreated RA and addressed the contribution of virus-specific CD8+ T cells to development of antigen-induced inflammatory arthritis
