    摘要: The present invention is directed to methods that can be used for diagnosing whether an individual either has, or is likely to develop, an autoimmune disease. The methods are based upon determining the level of CD4.sup.- CD8.sup.- V.alpha.24J.alpha.Q.sup.+ T cells present in the individual being tested or the pattern of cytokine secretion evidenced by these cells. In addition, the invention is directed to a therapeutic method for treating or preventing autoimmune disease which is based upon the specific expansion of the CD4.sup.- CD8.sup.- V.alpha.24J.alpha.Q.sup.+ T cell population.
