抄録

<jats:p> In this work, we find that CD8 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells expressing inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are the human equivalent of Ly49 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> CD8 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> regulatory T cells in mice and are increased in the blood and inflamed tissues of patients with a variety of autoimmune diseases. Moreover, these CD8 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells efficiently eliminated pathogenic gliadin-specific CD4 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells from the leukocytes of celiac disease patients in vitro. We also find elevated levels of KIR <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> CD8 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells, but not CD4 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> regulatory T cells, in COVID-19 patients, correlating with disease severity and vasculitis. Selective ablation of Ly49 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> CD8 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells in virus-infected mice led to autoimmunity after infection. Our results indicate that in both species, these regulatory CD8 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells act specifically to suppress pathogenic T cells in autoimmune and infectious diseases. </jats:p>
