Abstract Behpet s disease is a multisystem disease in which there is evidence of immunological dysregulation. It has been proposed that y s T cells are involved in its pathogenesis. The aim of the present study was to assess the capacity of y s T cells with phenotype Vy9 VS2 from a group of Italian patients with Behpet s disease to proliferate in the presence of various phosphoantigens and to express tumour necrosis factor TNF and IL-12 receptors. Twenty-five patients and 45 healthy individuals were studied. Vy9 VS2 T cells were analyzed by fluorescence activated cell sorting utilizing specific monoclonal antibodies. For the expansion of Vy9 VS2 T cells lymphocytes were cultured in the presence of various phosphoantigens. The .
