Cell-mediated immune reactivity in liver disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cell-mediated immunity has been investigated using the leucocyte migration test in 32 patients with chronic active hepatitis or primary biliary cirrhosis. Twenty-six (75%) showed reactivity to liver extract. At least two antigens are involved. Cell-mediated reactivity was confirmed in some cases using lymphocyte ;blast' transformation. There was no correlation with the presence of auto-antibodies.Cell-mediated immunity to parotid extract was shown in 10 cases (28%). This is in accord with the occurrence of the sicca syndrome in liver disease, which has been confirmed in this study.

Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic immune-mediated disorder caused by the dietary gluten in individuals who are genetically susceptible to the disease. In fact, CD is a T cell-mediated immune disease in which gluten-derived peptides activate the lamina propria CD4+ Teff cells, and these T-cell subsets can cause the intestinal tissue damages. Also, there are additional subsets of CD4+ T cells wit...

Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is a common cause of anemia in dogs. The immune aggression towards erythrocytes can be triggered by many pathological conditions such as infection, inflammatory disease or neoplasia. Upon ruling out any eliciting conditions, a diagnosis of the primary immune-mediated disease can be made. In this particular case of severe anemia (tested positive for circul...
