Do iL-7Rαlow memory CD8+ T cells are significantly elevated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus?
Our findings show that SLE patients have increased IL-7Rα(low) EM CD8(+) T cells, possibly contributing to tissue damage through 2B4-mediated cytotoxicity.
EUS-guided FNA of the gastric muscularis propria in patients with gastroparesis is safe and provides adequate tissue for full histologic assessment. (Clinical trial registration number: NCT01916460.).
