STAT6 activation confers upon T helper cells resistance to suppression by regulatory T cells.

Variations in T-helper 17 and Regulatory T Cells during The Menstrual Cycle in Peripheral Blood of Women with Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

T Helper Cells Profile and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Regulatory T Cells in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is considered as the most common cause of female infertility that affects 4-10% of women in the reproductive age. Previous studies have shown the role of a balanced immune response in a successful pregnancy and fertility. Objective: To investigate the T helper cells type 1 (Th1) /Th2/Th17/Treg paradigms in peripheral blood of infertile PCOS compared ...

T-helper-17, Regulatory T-helper Cells Related Serum Markers and IL-13 in the Outcome of Polytraumatic Patients with Bacteremia

Ectopic hTERT expression extends the life span of human CD4+ helper and regulatory T-cell clones and confers resistance to oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.

Human somatic cells have a limited life span in vitro. Upon aging and with each cell division, shortening of telomeres occurs, which eventually will lead to cell cycle arrest. Ectopic hTERT expression has been shown to extend the life span of human T cells by preventing this telomere erosion. In the present study, we have shown that ectopic hTERT expression extends the life span of CD4+ T helpe...

O 1: The Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on the T cell Compartment in Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological disease and its prevalence is about 2 million in the world. Neuroinflammation plays a key role in MS. Vitamins are essential nutrients that have effective role on immune system including activation of lymphocyte and differentiation of T-helper cell. Vitamin D is a micronutrient that is effective on immune function. Deficiently of Vitamin D is a ...
