975 NORMAL VALUES FOR AGE OF LYMPHOCYTE SUBPOPULATIONS

ALTERATION OF T-LYMPHOCYTE SUBPOPULATIONS IN SUBACUTE AND CHRONIC BRUCELLOSIS

Human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. A number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. Since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the T-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. In this study we found alterations...

Lymphocyte subpopulations.

Age-corrected normal values for perimetry.

PURPOSE Age-corrected values are indispensable in assessing discrete changes in light difference sensitivity (LDS) when evaluating perimetric results. In order to detect incipient visual field defects, the present study aimed particularly to determine function of normal values depending on age and eccentricity. METHODS A test group (n = 83) of ophthalmologically and clinically unremarkable su...

Heterogeneity of Lymphocyte Subpopulations

or very minimal in all three, including cell-mediated responses in vivo; the in vitro proliferative response to mitogens, allogeneic cells, or antigens; effector cell function in lymphocyte-antibody lymphocytolytic interaction assays; and in vitro synthesis of IgG, IgA, and IgM. In contrast, mononuclear cells from one of the infants were tested and found capable of lysing both human and chicken...

Reference Values for a Panel of Cytokinergic and Regulatory Lymphocyte Subpopulations

Lymphocyte subpopulations producing cytokines and exerting regulatory functions represent key immune elements. Given their reciprocal interdependency lymphocyte subpopulations are usually assayed as diagnostic panels, rather than single biomarkers for specialist clinical use. This retrospective analysis on lymphocyte subpopulations, analyzed over the last few years in an outpatient laboratory i...
