Lymphocytes in patients with variable immunodeficiency and panhypogammaglobulinemia. Evaluation of B and T cell surface markers and a proposed classification.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 15 patients with variable immunodeficiency and severe panhypogammaglobulinemia were evaluated for B and T cell surface markers. B cells were enumerated by immunofluorescent detection of both surface immunoglobulin (Ig) and the ability to bind aggregated Ig complexes. T cells were identified by their ability to form nonimmune rosettes with sheep red blood cells. Four distinct patterns were observed which were designated types I-IV. Type I: six patients had normal percentages (8.5-19.0%) of Ig-bearing B lymphocytes. Type II: four patients were observed to have B lymphocytes (4.5-15.0%) which lacked fluorescence-detectable surface Ig. Type III: the peripheral blood of these four patients contained a subpopulation (11.3-20.0%) of lymphocytes which apparently lacked both B and T cell markers ("null" cells). Type IV: one patient's blood was characterized by a subpopulation (18.0-22.0%) of lymphocytes which bore both B and T cell markers. Patients of each type had some clinical features in common. It is concluded that evaluation of lymphocyte surface markers provides a means of separating patients with variable immunodeficiency and panhypogammaglobulinemia into distinct groups which appear to differ in the nature of their fundamental defect.

Determination of lymphocytes surface markers in patients with thermal burns and the influence of burn size on mononuclear cell subsets
Background: Thermal burn injuries impair the host defence system. Hence, in the present study, we aimed at investigating the changes in the number and phenotype of peripheral blood lymphocyte populations (T, B, and natural killer cells) and their subpopulations in patients with thermal burns and determining the relationships with different sizes of total body surface area (TBSA). ...

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive malignancy of mature B lymphocytes. It is known as a heterogeneous disease with variable therapeutic responses and alternative therapies. Morphological and immunophenotypical evaluation of the biopsy specimens can help diagnose DLBCL. Methods: In the current study, 44 patients were chosen from Shaheed Sadoghi Hospital (2010&nda...

Background: CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are the main types of lymphocytes in cell-mediated immunity and play a central role in the induction of efficient immune responses against tumors. The frequencies of T cell subtypes in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues, and draining lymph nodes (dLN) can be considered as useful markers for evaluation of the immune system in cancers. Methods: In this study,...
