Epithelial-Like Cells Containing Leucocytes (Nurse Cells) of Human Palatine Tonsils, Uterus Cervix and Pleural Fluid
نویسنده
چکیده
Nurse cells (NCs) are detected in lymph-epithelial organs. The aim was to test the hypothesis that NCs are among tonsil epithelium (group 1), vagina epithelium (2) and pleural fluid (3) and to define the diagnostic value of the palatine tonsil (PT) NCs in leukaemia. NCs were found in patients of group 1 in leukaemia, in group 2 – in dysplasia and cancer, in group 3 – in AIDS; NCs were not obtained from pract ically healthy patients (group 13), in cancer (groups 1, 3) and different infections and inflammation diseases (group 1-3). Conclusions. NCs are abnormal cells. The PT NCs can be used for early diagnosis of leukaemia.

Determination of in vivo protein synthesis in human palatine tonsil.
The palatine tonsils are constantly exposed to ingested or inhaled antigens which, in turn, lead to a permanent activation of tonsillar immune cells, even in a basic physiological state. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the immunological activation of the human palatine tonsil is reflected by a high metabolic activity, as determined by in vivo measurement of protein synthesis....
متن کاملCharacterization of Epithelial Progenitors in Normal Human Palatine Tonsils and Their HPV16 E6/E7-Induced Perturbation
Human palatine tonsils are oropharyngeal lymphoid tissues containing multiple invaginations (crypts) in which the continuity of the outer surface epithelium is disrupted and the isolated epithelial cells intermingle with other cell types. We now show that primitive epithelial cells detectable in vitro in 2D colony assays and in a 3D culture system are CD44(+)NGFR(+) and present in both surface ...
متن کاملP-156: Survey of In Vitro Effect of Resveratrol on Apoptosis of Human Endometrial Epithelial Cells
Background: In apoptosis is physiological cell death which eliminates injured and old cells. Any disruption in apoptosis, leads to disease. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with estrogen-like, antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties; also it showed cell prolifratory and inhibitory effect. The aim of present study was to determine resveratrol effect on apoptosis of human endometrial epith...
متن کاملUltrastructure of the human palatine tonsil and its functional significance.
The human palatine tonsils represent a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue with a significant function in mucosal protection against alimentary and airborne pathogens. The ultrastructure of different morphological compartments in the human palatine tonsil was studied in eighteen tonsils obtained from the patients who had undergone elective tonsillectomy due to chronic tonsillitis. The tonsillar s...

In a systematic effort to identify a potent antiproliferative agent, four complexes of vanadium containing maltol and deferiprone ligands were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five human and animal cancer cell lines, including human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), human cervix epithelial carcinoma (HeLa), human colon cancer cell line (HT-29), human leukemia cell line ...
