Parkinson's disease (PD) is a widely prevalent chronic neurodegenerative disease. The disease is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons with abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn). The misfolded deposition of α-syn is known to mount robust adaptive immune response by activating T cells. Here, we show that peripheral mononuclear cells when stimulated with a α-syn-derived peptide pool activate α-syn-specific T cells that produce cytokines.
帕金森病（PD）是一种广泛流行的慢性神经退行性疾病。该疾病的特征是多巴胺能神经元丧失，α-突触核蛋白（α-syn）异常聚集。已知α-syn 的错误折叠沉积通过激活 T 细胞引发强烈的适应性免疫反应。在这里，我们表明，当用源自α-syn 的肽池刺激外周单核细胞时，会激活产生细胞因子的α-syn 特异性 T 细胞。
