T cell receptor variable region gene usage in juvenile chronic arthritis.
Up to now the data regarding T cell receptor V-gene usage by juvenile chronic arthritis synovial T lymphocytes has been conflicting. Thus, some studies claim that locally in the diseased joint there is an oligoclonal expansion of T cells with restricted T cell receptor variable region gene usage while others have found V-gene usage in the joint compatible with a polyclonal expansion of the T cells.
