An alternative exon 1 of the CD5 gene regulates CD5 expression in human B lymphocytes.
T lymphocytes and a subpopulation of B lymphocytes express the CD5 coreceptor. Its functional importance is evident from the multiple levels and developmental stages of the regulation of its expression. We here report the discovery of a novel regulatory exon upstream of the noncoding region of the CD5 gene in humans. This alternate exon 1 is designated E1B (with the conventional exon 1 renamed ...
متن کاملHuman normal CD5+ B lymphocytes can be induced to differentiate to CD5- B lymphocytes with germinal center cell features.
A significant proportion of cord blood CD5+ B cells express the activation molecules CD23, CD25, and transferrin receptor; react with the cell-cycle-associated monoclonal antibody (MoAb) Ki67; can be induced to enter the S phase of cell cycle by interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, or low-molecular-weight B-cell growth factor (Imw-BCGF) and, exposed to IL-1 and IL-2, acquire the features (sIgD-, CD5-, C...
متن کاملMethimazole treatment in Graves' disease: behaviour of CD5+B lymphocytes and regulatory T cell subsets.
In the present study we analyzed some circulating lymphocyte subsets in eleven patients affected by Graves' disease before and after three and six months of methimazole treatment. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were studied by a panel of monoclonal antibodies with single and double fluorescence cytometric analysis. Our results demonstrated an increased percentage of CD5+B cells and HLADR+T ...
متن کاملReduced Fas ligand-expressing splenic CD5+ B lymphocytes in severe collagen-induced arthritis
INTRODUCTION The objective was to study immune regulation in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis that exhibits considerable heterogeneity of disease activity. METHODS T-cell receptor transgenic mice, in which nearly all CD4+ T cells recognize a single peptide of type II collagen, were immunized with collagen and observed for development of arthritis for 4 weeks. At 28 days post-immunization...
متن کاملCD5 positive B cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: phorbol ester mediated enhancement of detection.
CD5 molecules present on human T cells are detectable but weakly expressed on some human B cells. We have increased the sensitivity of their detection by treating the B enriched cells with phorbol myristic acetate (PMA), a tumour promoting agent. The numbers of CD5+ B cells in the blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were higher than in control blood, and after PMA treatment this wa...
