T Cell Subsets and T Cell Function in Cartilage‐Hair Hypoplasia

T cell subsets and T cell function in cartilage-hair hypoplasia.

Cartilage hair hypoplasia is a rare autosomal recessive form of short-limbed dwarfism associated with a cellular immunodeficiency. In eight patients, the authors studied the presence of T cell subsets and in vitro T cell function in order to address the basis for the immunological disorder. Both the proliferative response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and the PHA-induced IL2 production were 60% ...

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 ...

The Immunomodulatory Effect of Cyclophosphamide on Regulation of T-Cell Subsets and Antigen Presenting Cells.

Modulation of CD4+ T Cell Subsets by Euphorbia microciadia and Euphorbia osyridea Plant Extracts

Background: Euphorbia plants are traditionally used in folk medicine for infections, inflammation, and cancer. Objectives: To investigate the effects of the butanolic extracts of Euphorbia micorociadia and Euphorbia osyridea on specific transcription factors and cytokines expression of T cell subsets. Methods: Activated mouse splenocytes were cultured in the presence of non-cytotoxic concentrat...
