Genetic influence on peripheral blood T lymphocyte levels

The Influence of Pregnancy on Peripheral Blood Lymphocyte Levels of

This report presents evidence for the proposition that the thymus is able to influence the recirculating lymphocyte population in ways other than through the provision of cells. The operation of humoral mechanisms, initiated by the thymus, is inferred from the demonstration that changes in lymphocyte levels consequent upon thymectomy are shown to operate across the placenta. Following the obser...

Peripheral Blood Lymphocyte Activation and RANTES Levels in Asthma

Aim: Bronchial mucosal inflammation is one of the major characteristics of atopic asthma. Th2 activation and the related cytokine profile, eosinophil activation and infiltration play the main role in the pathogenesis of atopic asthma. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the activation and RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and presumably secreted) expression of periph...

Effect of antiserum on peripheral blood lymphocyte.

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...

A review on peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocyte counts in healthy adult Indians

The CD4+ T lymphocytes are the crucial cells in the cascade of events in forming immune response to the foreign antigen and hence monitoring the CD4+ T cell counts to understand the extent of immune deficiency is a common practice. CD4+ T cells are also the primary target cells for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Hence CD4+ T lymphocyte count is the most important marker of immune dysfuncti...
