چکیده

Bone marrow has already been described as an enrichment site for several antigen-specific T lymphocytes, but the presence of mould-specific T cells has never been investigated in the bone marrow. We have previously demonstrated that mould-specific T cells emerge in the peripheral blood of patients with invasive fungal infections (IFI) but tend to become undetectable after disease resolution. In seven patients with a history of IFI, we investigated the presence of mould-specific T cells secreting different cytokines in bone marrow and peripheral blood paired samples. The results showed that the frequencies of mould-specific T cells secreting the protective cytokine IFNγ are significantly higher in bone marrow (BM) and are mainly represented by CD8+ T lymphocytes with effector phenotype. A putative disappearance of such protective BM responses after myeloablative therapy could contribute to the increased risk of IFI in hematologic patients.

Effect of daunorubicin drug with and without cimetidine on the nucleated cells of bone marrow of balb/c mouse

Introduction: Hematopoiesis is an on going process mammalian marrow system. A few cells from the nucleated cells of bone marrow are hematopoietic cells which include primary stem cells, precursor cells and progenitor cells. Primary stem cells and progenitor cells are able to produce colonies in culture medium (CFU-C) and irradiated mouse spleen (CFU-S). A hematopoietic cell is alive and act...

Effects of Dendritic Cell Vaccine Activated with Components of Lieshmania Major on Tumor Specific Response

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) contribute essentially to the outset and course of immune responses. So in patients with malignancy, there have been considerable interests in use of these cells in different interventions. Objective: To evaluate the impact of Leishmania major’s components on DC maturation and their use as a therapeutic agent against t...

Brief report MHC class II and c-kit expression allows rapid enrichment of T-cell progenitors from total bone marrow cells

T-cell progenitors in the embryonic bone marrow express the tyrosine kinase receptor c-kit. RR5, an anti-MHC class II b chain monoclonal antibody, subdivides this c-kit positive population. Intrathymic transfer experiments showed that most of the T-cell progenitors belong to the MHC class II1/ckit1 bone marrow population in the embryo and young adult. On transplantation, these bone marrow proge...
