There is considerable evidence to suggest that autoimmunity plays a role in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata. Since it is known that T cells regulate the immune system, a study was undertaken to measure T helper (OKT-4) and T suppressor (OKT-8) cells in the peripheral blood of patients with alope
This study characterizes hair follicles from early alopecia areata lesions at both the light and electron microscopic levels and describes how affected hair follicles differ from normal hair growth. The study focuses on acute and active lesions where hair follicles show greatest divergence from the
Using mixed lymphocyte tumor-cell culture (MLTC) in a selected renal-cell carcinoma, we derived a tumor-specific T-cell line in which Vf3 14+ and Vp 19+ T cells represented 70% of the whole T-cell population. Selected Vpl9+ T cells were CD8+ and exhibited a HLA-restricted specific cytotoxicity again
## Background: We know little of the initial events during the sensitization phase of contact allergy in humans. alopecia areata (aa), a disease of unknown pathogenesis characterized by patchy hair loss, may be treated by inducing contact allergy to diphenylcyclopropenone (dpc), later followed by i
