Peripheral blood lymphocyte cell surface markers during the course of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 23 patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were serially studied. Changes in bone marrow-derived lymphocytes (B cells), as measured by surface Ig receptors and C3 receptors, and in thymus-derived cells (T cells) measured by rabbit T-cell-specific antiserum and E-binding techniques, were correlated with fluctuations in clinical disease activity a...
متن کاملSex Hormones and Peripheral White Blood Cell Subsets in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Background: Systemic Lupus Eyrythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease charac-terized by antibodies to nuclear antigens, particularly anti-dsDNA. Imbalance between production and destruction of immune cells causes cytopenia. Sex hormones have im-munomodulatory effects; estrogen increases the production of autoantibodies in SLE prone NZB/NZW mice. Objective: To investigate the relationship bet...
متن کاملPeripheral blood lymphocyte response to phytomitogens in systemic lupus erythematosus.
The response of peripheral blood lymphocytes to the phytomitogens, PHA, Con A, and PWM, was evaluated in 30 SLE patients and in 30 age, sex, and race-matched controls using dose and time responses. The proliferative response to the three phytomitogens was not depressed in this group of subacute and chronic SLE patients. Active lupus nephritis and a slow acetylator phenotype were associated with...
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...
متن کاملDisturbed peripheral B lymphocyte homeostasis in systemic lupus erythematosus.
In patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a marked B lymphocytopenia was identified that affected CD19(+)/CD27(-) naive B cells more than CD19(+)/CD27(+) memory B cells, leading to a relative predominance of CD27-expressing peripheral B cells. CD27(high)/CD38(+)/CD19(dim)/surface Ig(low)/CD20(-)/CD138(+) plasma cells were found at high frequencies in active but not inactive SL...
