Malassezia sympodialis thioredoxin-specific T cells are highly cross-reactive to human thioredoxin in atopic dermatitis

In patients with AD sensitized to Malassezia species, cross-reactivity at the T-cell level to Mala s 13 and the homologous hTrx is detectable. hTrx autoreactive skin-homing T cells might be relevant for cutaneous inflammation in patients with AD.
