T LYMPHOCYTE SUBSETS IN CHILDREN WITH GRAM NEGATIVE SEPSIS

CD8+ T Lymphocyte Subsets in Bladder Tumor Draining Lymph Nodes

Background: Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, as essential parts of the adaptive immune system, play pivotal roles in anti-tumor immune responses. It is well documented that cytokine expression profiles and activation status of these cells during anti-tumor immune responses affect the outcome of host-tumor interaction. Objective: To investigate the percentages of CD8+ lymphocytes and their subsets in...

evaluation of t lymphocyte subsets in children with beta thalassemia major

peripheral blood t lymphocytes and their subsets were studied in 31 patients with beta thalassemia major (age 2-12years) and compared with 14 age-arid sex-matched healthy controls. three monoclonal antibodies (anti-cd3, anti cd-f, unti-cds) were simultaneously applied for detection of th (cd3-, cd4^), tsk (cd3+, cd8+) and th/ts ratio by flow-cytometry respectively. the results of this study sho...

T-Lymphocyte Subsets in Apparently Healthy Nigerian Children

Population studies showed that there are differences in T-lymphocytes subpopulation of normal children in different regions, and reference values in an area might be different from another. This study compared the values in our population with CDC and WHO reference values. Blood samples from 279 healthy, HIV-negative children <12 years of age were analysed for complete blood count, CD3+, CD4+, ...

Concordance of endotoxemia with gram-negative bacteremia in patients with gram-negative sepsis: a meta-analysis.

The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay is a sensitive method for detecting endotoxin. Using gram-negative (GN) bacteremia as the basis for comparison, concordance with endotoxemia in 45 studies could be expressed as an odds ratio. Calculation of summary odds ratios by the Mantel-Haenszel-Peto method indicated that the concordance of the results was no higher by the chromogenic LAL assay than ...
