Increased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
متن کاملCytokines Genes Polymorphisms in Iranian Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) has recently become a major problem in developed countries especially in immune compromised HIV infected individuals. Cytokines, their genes and receptors have been implicated in the protective immunity, pathophysiology and development of tuberculosis. Material & Methods: In the present study the genotype frequencies of a number of polymorphic genes co...
متن کاملAntineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Infection with this bacterium is known to induce the development of autoantibodies of which a few are also known to be diagnostic markers for some other diseases. Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA's) are among those autoantibodies used in clinical setting for diagnosing systemic vasculitic sy...
متن کاملNatural killer cell activity in lung cancer patients.
A total of 50 lung cancer (CA) patients and 20 normal persons as controls were included in our study. We obtained lymphocytes from heparinized blood by Ficoll-Hypaque gradient method, and after the macrophages were removed, they were incubated with 51Cr-labelled K562 cells at concentrations of 100:1, 50:1, 12.5:1 for four hours. We calculated the cytotoxicity activity and lytic unit (LU) of nat...
