CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with monoclonal gammopathies: correlations with diagnosis, clinical stage and treatment status.

چکیده
Alterations in blood lymphocyte subsets may be involved in the development of overt myeloma. Naive (CD4+CD45RA+) and memory (CD4+CD45RO+) helper T-cell subsets are important effectors of immune T-cell regulation. We analyzed the distribution of these blood lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with monoclonal gammopathies, considering the type of disorder, clinical stage, and treatment status.

Bone marrow T-cell subsets in patients with monoclonal gammopathies: correlation with clinical stage and disease status.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The existence of an imbalance in T-cell subpopulations in patients (pts) affected by monoclonal gammopathies (MG) has been well established. This imbalance might be correlated with different control of plasma cell growth and, particularly in MM, with the severity of the disease. The aim of this study was to verify whether the alteration of the T lymphocyte subsets in bo...
متن کاملActivated idiotype-reactive cells in suppressor/cytotoxic subpopulations of monoclonal gammopathies: correlation with diagnosis and disease status.
The phenotypic pattern of peripheral blood T (PBT) lymphocytes was correlated with diagnosis and clinical status in 63 patients with monoclonal gammopathies (MGs). The numbers of lymphocytes expressing activation and CD11 determinants were significantly increased in suppressor/cytotoxic and helper/inducer subpopulations of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and MG of undetermined significance ...
متن کاملThymectomy and azathioprine have no effect on the phenotype of CD4 T lymphocyte subsets in myasthenia gravis.
The influence of thymectomy and long term immunosuppression on the phenotype of CD4 T lymphocyte subsets, which were defined by the restricted expression of CD45RA and CD45RO markers, was studied by double immunofluorescence in 29 patients in different clinical stages of generalised myasthenia gravis. In the acute stage of myasthenia, before thymectomy and immunosuppression, no differences in C...

AIMS To immunophenotype and quantitate glomerular and interstitial inflammatory cells in cases of idiopathic membranous and IgA glomerulopathy; to correlate cell numbers with aspects of clinical data and renal function. METHODS Routine indirect immunoperoxidase staining was performed on frozen section renal biopsy specimens for T and B lymphocyte related antigens, macrophages and MHC class II...
متن کاملT-Cell receptor Vbeta repertoire CDR3 length diversity differs within CD45RA and CD45RO T-cell subsets in healthy and human immunodeficiency virus-infected children.
The T-cell receptor (TCR) CDR3 length heterogeneity is formed during recombination of individual Vbeta gene families. We hypothesized that CDR3 length diversity could be used to assess the fundamental differences within the TCR repertoire of CD45RA and CD45RO T-cell subpopulations. By using PCR-based spectratyping, nested primers for all 24 human Vbeta families were developed to amplify CDR3 le...
