Autoreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes in pemphigus and pemphigoid.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Recent studies have revealed the presence of zinc and the expression of zinc transporter (ZnT) family members in most endocrine cell types. It was demonstrated that ZnT family plays an important role in the synthesis and secretion of many hormones. Moreover, recently ZnT8 was described as a newly islet aut...
