Peripheral markers may not reflect myocardial T-cell infiltration in viral myocarditis; leaves open tissue-specific immunophenotyping as a research avenue.
This preclinical study demonstrates that T-cell subsets, particularly immature T cells, are the predominant lymphocytes infiltrating the myocardium during acute coxsackievirus B3 myocarditis, differing from peripheral blood profiles.
Kishimoto et al. (1988) studied this question.
