摘 要:The scavenger-like lymphocyte receptor CD6 is a regulator of T cell functions,and is associated with autoimmune ***,the specific contribution of CD6 to autoimmunity remains *** physiological conditions,CD6 associates with the T cell antigen receptor(TCR)/CD3 complex at the center of the immunological synapse and regulates T cell responses through activation-dependent recruitment of the positive regulator SLP-76 and other downstream signaling effectors.1,2 In recent years,immune-activating and immune-inhibiting functions of CD6 have been reported,indicating a dual role of CD6 in T cell activation.1 It has been postulated that the strength of TCR activation determines whether CD6 enhances or inhibits TCR signaling.1 This possible counter-regulatory role of CD6 may contribute to the control of T cell responses.
