چکیده

When in vitro IgG production by mitogen-stimulatecl peripheral lymphocytes from healthy aged (70-93 year old) and young (20-29 year old) subjects was compared, it was found that the level of IgG production was elevated in the aged subjects. Coculture studies were performed to determine whether the increase was clue to changes in T or non-T cells. IgG production was significantly higher when reference non-T cells from normal young adults were mixed with T cells from aged subjects than with T cells from young adults. In contrast, no significant difference in IgG production was observed when reference T cells from normal young adults were mixed with non-T cells from either young or aged subjects. The suppressor activity of Tr cells and helper activity of non-Tr T cells of young and aged subjects were then determined. The results revealed that the suppressor activity of Tr cells of aged individuals was significantly lower than that of young adults, but the helper activity of non-Tr T cells of young and aged subjects was comparable. These results indicate that the increase in production of IgG by the peripheral lymphocytes of aged individuals is due in part to changes in the T cells which are related to a decrease in suppressor activity of Tr

The role of platelet microparticles in the production of antibodies from B lymphocytes against HLA-DR antigen in vitro

Background: Platelets can activate B cells and stimulate them for the production of antibodies. Since platelet microparticles (PMPs) originate from platelets, they may have the same virtue. In the present study, the effect of PMPs was investigated on the production of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-specific antibody from B cells in vitro. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, HLA-D...

بررسی تاثیر میکروذرات مشتق از پلاکت بر تولید آنتی بادی IgG از لنفوسیت های Bخون محیطی انسان

Background and purpose: Platelets communicate with different immune cells and can activate B-lymphocytes and induce the production of antibodies from these cells. Platelet microparticles (MPs) originate from platelets and express the surface markers of platelets. This study aimed at investigating the ability of these microvesicles on production of antibodies from B-lymphocytes. Materials and...

Human Leukocyte Antigen-G Expression on Dendritic Cells Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and CD4+ T Cells Proliferation

Background: During antigen capture and processing, mature dendritic cells (DC) express large amounts of peptide-MHC complexes and accessory molecules on their surface. DC are antigen-presenting cells that have an important role in tolerance and autoimmunity. The transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) cytokine has a regulatory role on the immune and non-immune cells. The aim of this study is ...

Mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from deferent tissues like adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, skin, bone marrow, etc. These cells have regulatory effects on all types of immune cells such as dendritic cell, natural killers and lymphocytes. Mesenchymal stem cells induce inhibitory phenotypes of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) following their activity. They also change T cells pheno...
