Previous studies have demonstrated the regulatory functions of Ly49CD8 T cells toward self-reactive CD4 T cells in mice. Recently, we found KIRCD8 T cells are the equivalent of mouse Ly49CD8 T cells in humans. They are increased in patients with autoimmune or infectious diseases as a negative feedback mechanism to suppress the arising pathogenic cells and maintain peripheral tolerance. Here, we describe the methods on how we characterize the KIRCD8 T cells from different diseases using single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing.
先前的研究已经证明了 Ly49CD8 T 细胞在小鼠中对自身反应性 CD4 T 细胞的调节功能。最近,我们发现 KIRCD8 T 细胞在人类中相当于小鼠的 Ly49CD8 T 细胞。它们在自身免疫或感染性疾病患者中增加,作为一种负反馈机制来抑制出现的致病性细胞并维持外周耐受。在这里,我们描述了如何使用单细胞 RNA 和 TCR 测序来表征来自不同疾病的 KIRCD8 T 细胞的方法。
