Open Access Abstract CD3 CD4 CD28nu and CD3 CD8 CD28nu T cells are enriched in patients with immune-mediated diseases compared with healthy controls. This study shows that CD4 CD28null T cells express Toll-like receptors recognizing bacterial lipopolysaccharides in ankylosing spondylitis psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In ankylosing spondylitis TLR4 and to a smaller extent TLR2 were expressed on CD4 CD28null T cells whereas expression was negligible on CD4 CD28 and CD8 T cells. CD4 CD28nu T cells produced perforin upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide and this effect was enhanced by autologous serum or recombinant soluble CD14. Perforin production could be prevented with .
