This study found that anagen stage protein homogenates and specific epitopes from melanogenesis proteins activated CD8 T cells, suggesting alopecia areata is an anagen-specific disease.

This paper proposes that the induction of HF-specific neo-antigens by peripheral CD8+ T cells may maintain self-tolerance but could also lead to immunopathology in conditions like alopecia areata.

Trichohyalin in hair can trigger immune attacks in alopecia areata.

This article discusses advancements and methodologies in epitope identification for autoimmune diseases, specifically alopecia areata, but does not report new experimental results.

In this study, researchers observed that alopecia areata patients showed higher Th1 and Th2 responses against specific melanogenesis-related protein epitopes, suggesting a role in disease activity and potential targets for diagnostics and therapies.
