Evidence for peripheral blood B lymphocyte but not T lymphocyte involvement in multiple myeloma.
Because there is controversy regarding whether subsets of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) are part of the malignant clone in patients with multiple myeloma, we studied this question by immunoglobulin and T cell receptor gene analysis. Southern blot analysis with antibody probes demonstrated clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangements in PBLs of seven of nine patients that were identical to th...
متن کاملA SURVEY OF CELLULAR IMMUNITY, TOTAL T-LYMPHOCYTE, T-ACTIVE , B-LYMPHOCYTE A ND T-CELL FUNCTION IN RELATION TO PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININ (PHA) IN THALASSEMIC PATIENTS
The aim of this study was to evaluate the immune system and lymphocyte function in 41 Iranian β-thalassemic patients and 50 controls, ages ranging from 2 to 18 years. The patients consisted of 20 splenectomized and 21 non-splenectomized patients. They were treated with Desferal, and had received repeated blood transfusion. Laboratory investigations included measurement of total T lymphocyt...
متن کاملAberrancies of human T--and B--lymphocyte populations in peripheral blood.
About 50% of all current immunological papers published in journals have some aspects of T and B cell function being studied. Warner and Szenberg (1961) were the first to define the two cell types: B stands for bursa of fabricius and T stands for the thymus. Since then there is this general concept that B-cells are responsible for antibody production and T-cells fro graft versus host type of re...
متن کاملALTERATION 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...
متن کاملT Lymphocyte Apoptosis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Objective(s): Apoptosis is a tightly regulated process and plays a crucial role in autoimmune diseases. Because abnormalities in apoptosis are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in present study we studied the apoptosis in T lymphocytes from Iranian SLE patientsat protein and gene expression levels for some molecules which are involved in apopt...
