T cell depletion in untreated adult coeliac disease

D P O'Donoghue et al. Gut. 1976 May.

Abstract

The proportional and absolute numbers of circulating thymus dependent lymphocytes (T cells) were reduced in untreated patients with coeliac disease but were normal after treatment with a gluten free diet. There was an inverse correlation between circulating T cell numbers and jejunal intraepithelial lymphocytes. This evidence suggests a possible role for T cells in the pathogenesis of coeliac disease and is a further example of disturbed cell mediated immunity in this condition.
