Abstract

Alopecia areata (AA) is a common autoimmune disease driven by Th1 cytokines characterized by non-scarring hair loss.1,2 Mouse models have demonstrated that IFN-gamma-producing NKG2D+ CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are essential for disease pathogenesis, along with JAK-STAT dependent cytokines IFN-gamma and IL-15, which induce autoreactive T cell activation.1,3 This article is protected by copyright.
