Differential activation of CD57-defined natural killer cell subsets during recall responses to vaccine antigens
Natural killer (NK) cells contribute to the effector phase of vaccine-induced adaptive immune responses, secreting cytokines and releasing cytotoxic granules. The proportion of responding NK cells varies between individuals and by vaccine, suggesting that functionally discrete subsets of NK cells with different activation requirements may be involved. Here, we have used responses to individual ...
متن کاملLymphocyte subsets and natural killer cell activity in healthy old people and centenarians.
The contribution of the immune system to healthy aging and longevity is still an open question. For this reason, several immune parameters (T, B, and natural killer [NK] cell subsets; non-major histocompatibility complex [MHC]-restricted cytotoxic activities, ie, natural and redirected killing [RDK] activities) were studied in a total of 138 healthy subjects of different ages, from 4 to 106 yea...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus and Human Cytomegalovirus—Natural Killer Cell Subsets in Persistent Viral Infections
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) are prominent examples of RNA and DNA viruses, respectively, that establish a persistent infection in their host. HCV affects over 185 million patients worldwide, who are at high risk for developing liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and ultimately hepatocellular carcinoma. Recent breakthroughs in HCV therapy, using direct-acting antivirals...
متن کاملStellate ganglion block modifies the distribution of lymphocyte subsets and natural-killer cell activity.
BACKGROUND Recent investigations suggest that the sympathetic nervous system affects the immune system. This study examined whether stellate ganglion block (SGB) affects the immune response, specifically the distribution of lymphocyte subsets and natural-killer (NK) cell activity. METHODS Ten volunteers received three different treatments in random order at 7-day intervals: (1) SGB with 7 ml ...
متن کاملLymphocyte subsets phenotype in patients with infectious mononucleosis
Background: Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is a lymphoproliferative disease caused primarily by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. The initial viral infection by EBV occurs in B lymphocytes and is followed by an extensive proliferation of T lymphocytes. Previous studies on immunity to EBV (including IM) have mainly focused on activation of peripheral blood T cells, which are responsible for...
