Abstract--The idea that atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease is no longer controversial. Instead, much of the current research is now focused on understanding what drives this inflammation and how it is regulated. Adaptive immunity, in particular T cells, is highly involved in atherogenesis. It is well known that different subsets of T cells can drive or dampen inflammatory processes, but we still have much to learn about the regulation of this balance in the context of atherosclerosis. This review summarizes our knowledge of T cells in atherogenesis, their potential antigens, their contact-dependent activities, and their secretion of inflammatory and antiinflammatory mediators, aiming to illustrate how T cells can aggravate or attenuate this disease through cross-talk with other cells within or outside the atherosclerotic plaque.
