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 کاملNatural killer cells in human peripheral blood and primary cutaneous natural killer cell lymphomas may express cutaneous lymphocyte antigen.
In normal human peripheral blood, cutaneous lymphocyte antigen is expressed by memory T cells, suggesting a specific tissue-homing population of T cells. In this study it is demonstrated that 6% of CD56 + natural killer cells in peripheral blood also express cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA). It was also detected that most of the tumor cells in primary cutaneous nasal-type natural killer cell ...
متن کاملPatterns of Local Failure following Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer.
PURPOSE Little is known about patterns of local failure following radiation therapy for prostate cancer. We aimed to characterize post-radiation biopsy findings, including the treatment effect and the zonal distribution of recurrent disease after radiation therapy, in men experiencing biochemical recurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified patients who received post-radiation biopsy in th...
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 کاملDiminished helper/suppressor lymphocyte ratios and natural killer activity in recipients of repeated blood transfusions.
Immunologic abnormalities qualitatively similar to those seen in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), including a low helper/suppressor lymphocyte ratio and low natural killer (NK) activity, have been observed in many hemophiliacs receiving clotting factor concentrates. To determine whether these changes also occur after repeated blood transfusion, we measured helper/suppressor (T4/T8) ra...
