research Butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2) to the Rescue: controlling autoaggressive dermal gamma delta (GD) T lymphocytes in human hair follicles (HFs) 3747
This study observed that in human scalp hair follicles, BTNL2 expression is lower in stressed conditions, which correlates with increased cytotoxic activity by gamma/delta and CD8+ T cells, suggesting a possible role for BTNL2 in controlling immune responses relevant to alopecia areata.
