- *Abstract
-
The present disclosure is based, in part, on the discovery that interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) and CD28 signals regulate auto-reactive T cell trafficking and that organ-specific T cell mediated autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Accordingly, the present specification provides methods of treating organ-specific T cell mediated autoimmune diseases by inhibiting ITK with a therapeutically effective amount of an ITK inhibitor, e.g., BMS509744, ibrutinib, 10n, 2-amino-5-(thioaryl)thiazole, 5 aminomethylbenzimidazole, 2-amino-5-[(thiomethyparyl]thiazole, and biaryl thiophene.
