This paper is a systemic review that examines evidence for the role of CD8+ T cells in Alzheimer’s disease, focusing on how cellular (T-cell–mediated) immunity may contribute alongside the better-established amyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles. Drawing on clinical and animal study lines of evidence, it discusses that T cells infiltrating the CNS can have both protective and harmful effects, and it highlights that anti–Aβ-specific CD8+ T cell function has remained ambiguous, partly because many CD8+ T subsets exist and are studied differently in autoimmunity. A major caveat stated upfront is that the work is a preprint not peer reviewed and may be preliminary. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Recently, marked advances have been made in terms of passive anti-Aβ immunotherapy for AD, which have been supported by evidence from AD animal models and clinical trials. While innate immunity significantly contributes to the pathology of AD, it does not fully clarify the immune mechanisms linked to its pathogenesis. Consequently, focus should be directed toward adaptive immunity, encompassing both humoral immunity, primarily governed by B cells, and cellular immunity, predominantly influenced by T cells. T cells, in particular, may also be important in AD pathogenesis, as indicated by many lines of evidence from clinical and animal studies. Furthermore, T cells that infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS) have demonstrated both protective and detrimental effects on neural tissue in AD. Because autoreactive CD8+ T cells were expected to be cytotoxic to CNS cells, they have received less attention. Nevertheless, a significant amount of evidence now suggests that CD8+ Treg cells play a role in multiple diseases. However, the function of anti-Aβ-specific CD8+ T cells in AD has remained ambiguous. Many subsets of CD8+ T cells exist, which have been well-studied in terms of autoimmunity. We suggest that these CD8+ T cell subsets identified in AD studies could constitute a promising area for future AD research.
