the cytotoxic t lymphocyte antigen-4 +49a/g single nucleotide polymorphism association with visceral leishmaniasis
نویسندگان
چکیده
conclusions according to the results, the polymorphisms within the +49 position of ctla-4 can be associated with vl and may be considered as risk factors for the disease. results our results indicated that both ctla-4 +49a/g polymorphisms were significantly associated with vl. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, 88 patients with clinical presentations of vl, who were seropositive for leishmania (group 1), 86 patients without clinical presentations but seropositive (group 2), and 115 healthy controls (group 3) were assessed with respect to the ctla-4 +49a/g polymorphism, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp). the anti-leishmania antibody titration was evaluated using an immunofluorescence method. background several lines of evidence approve that innate and adaptive immunity play key roles in the defense against visceral leishmaniasis (vl). the polymorphism within the cytotoxic t lymphocyte antigen 4 (ctla-4) gene alters its expression. objectives the main aim of this study was to evaluate the polymorphism within the +49 position of the ctla-4 gene of iranian patients with vl in comparison with healthy controls.

The Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen-4 +49A/G Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Association With Visceral Leishmaniasis
BACKGROUND Several lines of evidence approve that innate and adaptive immunity play key roles in the defense against visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The polymorphism within the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene alters its expression. OBJECTIVES The main aim of this study was to evaluate the polymorphism within the +49 position of the CTLA-4 gene of Iranian patients with VL in compar...
متن کاملAssociation of single nucleotide polymorphisms in cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 and susceptibility to autoimmune type 1 diabetes in Tunisians.
In addition to HLA and insulin genes, the costimulatory molecule CTLA-4 gene is a confirmed type 1 diabetes (T1D) susceptibility gene. Previous studies investigated the association of CTLA-4 genetic variants with the risk of T1D, but with inconclusive findings. Here, we tested the contributions of common CTLA-4 gene variants to T1D susceptibility in Tunisian patients and control subjects. The s...
متن کاملCytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4.
Cancer immunotherapy relies on the ability of the immune system to target tumor-specific antigens to generate an immune response. This initial response requires both binding of the MHC/antigen peptide to T-cell receptor complex, along with a second costimulatory signal created by the binding of CD28 on the T cell, with B7 located on the antigen-presenting cell. Regulatory checkpoints, such as c...
متن کاملAssociation of asthma severity and bronchial hyperresponsiveness with a polymorphism in the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 gene.
OBJECTIVES Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 is a homolog of CD28, which is expressed only on activated T cells. It binds to accessory molecule B7 and mediates T-cell-dependent immune response. Signaling through CTLA-4 may down-regulate type 1 T-helper cell proliferation; moreover, some studies suggest that CTLA-4 might also deliver a positive signal to type 2 T-helper cell activation. Di...
متن کاملCytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 gene polymorphism associated with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a particularly important molecule in down-regulating T-cell expansion and cytokine production. The purpose of the present study was to determine the frequency distribution of an A/G single nucleotide polymorphism at position 49 in exon 1 of the CTLA-4 gene, which may be a functional related-genetic risk marker for the development of ST-seg...
متن کاملCytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) A49G polymorphism and autoimmune blood diseases.
OBJECTIVE The cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is expressed on T lymphocytes, and inhibits the T-cell responses. In animal models, it has been shown that complete CTLA-4 deficiency was lethal due to massive infiltration of tissues by polyclonally proliferating lymphocytes. CTLA-4 A49G polymorphism, which has been suggested to reduce the inhibitory function of the CTLA-4 mole...
