Untreated control OS chickens develop spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT). In contrast, OS chickens treated with a monoclonal anti-CD4 antibody failed to develop SAT. The preventive effect of anti-CD4 antibody on SAT was associated with the marked depletion of CD4+ T-cells by anti-CD4 treatment. These results indicate that CD4+ T-cells play a crucial role in SAT of OS chickens.
未经治疗的对照OS鸡会发生自发性自身免疫性甲状腺炎(SAT)。相比之下,用单克隆抗CD4抗体治疗的OS鸡未发生SAT。抗CD4抗体对SAT的预防作用与抗CD4治疗导致的CD4 + T细胞显著耗竭有关。这些结果表明,CD4 + T细胞在OS鸡的SAT中起关键作用。
