Pulmonary sarcoidosis: alterations in bronchoalveolar lymphocytes and T cell subsets.
Peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage lymphocyte subpopulations have been evaluated in 14 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis and eight normal subjects, monoclonal antibodies of the leu series being used. No significant alterations of T lymphocyte subpopulations were found in the peripheral blood of sarcoidosis patients. There was, however, a significantly greater proportion of T suppress...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar Lavage and Sampling in Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder of unknown cause. It commonly affects young and middle-aged adults and frequently it presents with bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, pulmonary infiltration, ocular and skin lesions. Other organs may also be involved. The diagnosis is established when clinicoradiological findings are supported by histological evidence of noncaseating epitheloid cell granuloma...
متن کاملAnalysis of T cell subsets and beta chemokines in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disorder of unknown origin characterised by accumulation of T lymphocytes and macrophages in multiple organs. Several cytokines and adhesion molecules may contribute to the accumulation of T lymphocytes in pulmonary sarcoidosis. The distribution of T lymphocyte subsets, T cell bearing CD11a and beta chemokines such as regulated on activation no...
متن کاملApoptosis resistant bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid lymphocytes in sarcoidosis.
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous lung disease of unknown origin. The accumulation of activated T cells at sites of inflammation represents an early stage in granuloma formation. Since mechanisms governing the normal resolution of inflammatory processes are poorly understood, this study aimed to investigate the apoptotic phenotype of peripheral blood and lung T lymphocytes from ...
متن کاملProtein deficiency induces alterations in the distribution of T-cell subsets in experimental pulmonary tuberculosis.
Previous research has suggested that dietary protein deficiency alters resistance to experimental pulmonary tuberculosis, in part, by affecting the distribution and trafficking of antigen-reactive T cells. In this study, guinea pigs were maintained on either a protein-deficient (10% ovalbumin) or control (30% ovalbumin) diet and infected 4 to 6 weeks later with a low dose of virulent Mycobacter...
