imbalance of t-cell subsets in iranian allergic rhinitis patients

r'iwenty-nine patients were studied to determine the number of cj).j+ tscell subsets in iranian allergic rhinitis patients. the result was compared with that a/twenty-four nonatopic controls. the number of11 and cds+t cell')and levels ofspeafic ige and /g(;4 against weed pollens were also studied the number of lymphocyte subset, tltat is, cd-/+ c/)29+and c1jf cj)451t cells were determined hy do...

Regulatory T Cell Subsets in Filarial Infection and Their Function

Filarial infections in humans are chronic infections that cause significant morbidity. The chronic nature of these infections with continuous antigen release is associated with a parasite-specific T cell hypo-responsiveness that may over time also affect the immune responses to bystander antigens. Previous studies have shown the filarial parasite antigen-specific T cells hypo-responsiveness is ...

Neuropilin-1 distinguishes natural and inducible regulatory T cells among regulatory T cell subsets in vivo

Foxp3(+) CD4(+) T helper cells called regulatory T (T reg) cells play a key role in controlling reactivity to self-antigens and onset of autoimmunity. T reg cells either arise in thymus and are called natural T reg (nT reg) cells or are generated in the periphery through induction of Foxp3 and are called inducible T reg (iT reg) cells. The relative contributions of iT reg cells and nT reg cells...
