Transplantation of lymphocytes and immune lymphocytes in sarcoidosis and in malignant lymphadenomas.

چکیده

When lymphocytes of a homologous donor are transferred intracutaneously to another person a local reaction of delayed type is seen at the site of transfer 24-48 hr later ('normal lymphocyte transfer reaction'). When sensitized lymphocytes of the recipient afterwards are transferred back to the donor in normal cases the local reaction is much stronger ('immune lymphocyte transfer reaction'). When the recipients were patients with acute sarcoidosis or with Hodgkin's disease of stage Ill and IV, the normal lymphocyte transfer reaction was considerably weaker than in normal cases. The reaction of patients with chronic sarcoidosis was similar to normal controls, likewise the reaction of early cases of Hodgkin's disease. In back transfer of sensitized lymphocytes of above mentioned recipients to the donors the immune lymphocyte transfer reaction was stronger in acute sarcoidosis than in stage m of Hodgkin's disease, but always weaker than in normal cases. The reactions of patients with chronic sarcoidosis were similar to normal controls. The investigations show a parallel to the findings with passive transfer of delayed type sensitivity.

IgM, IgG, IgA Serum Levels and Lymphocytes Count Before and After Adenotonsillectomy

Background: Tonsils and adenoids are involved in both local immunity and immune surveillance for the development of immune defense mechanisms. A number of investigators have found decreased immunoglobulin levels after adenotonsillectomy while others have failed to find significant changes. The effects of adenotonsillectomy on the cellular immunity of children have not been investigated extensiv...

Study of the ratio of Treg/Th1 and Treg/Th2 lymphocytes in Hodgkin's lymphoma patients and its relationship with disease prognosis

Background and purpose: CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Tregs) are a group of T lymphocytes that play an important role in regulating immune system responses by suppressing the activity of other T cells and establishing homeostasis in the immune system. Th1 and Th2 cells are other groups of CD4+ cells that play important functions in inducing inflammatory immune responses. C...

Activity of T-Helper Lymphocytes in Opium Dependent and Non-dependent Individuals

Opium derivatives affect the function and differentiation of peripheral leucocytes, directly or indirectly. Previous researches have shown that these cells respond to the endorphins through their opioid receptors (σ, µ and κ). There are many reports about the effect of morphine and heroin on immune system of dependent people, but there is no report on the functions of T-helper lymphocytes in op...
