Urothelial antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells function as direct effector cells and induce bladder autoimmune inflammation independent of CD8(+) T cells

The role of CD4(+) T cells in bladder autoimmune inflammation has not been identified due to the lack of a proper animal model. We investigated CD4(+) T cell responses to bladder urothelial ovalbumin (OVA), a model self-antigen (Ag), in transgenic URO-OVA mice. The expression of bladder urothelial O...
