Evidence for the Separate Human T - Lymphocyte Subpopulations

چکیده
We investigated the interaction of monocyte/macrophages and autologous T lymphocytes in the methanol extraction residue (MER) of BCG-induced production of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating activity (CSA). Coincubation of monocyte/macrophages and T lymphocytes at a 1 :3 ratio produces an optimum collaboration; a change to a 1 :9 ratio diminished this collaboration. Coincubation of monocyte/macrophages and T lymphocytes primed with lithium carbonate (2 meq/liter) for 40 hr synergistically increased CSA elaboration and prevented the decline in CSA noted for the 1 :9 monocyte/macrophage:T lymphocyte ratio. In contrast. concanavalin-Aprimed T lymphocytes did not enhance CSA elaboration at any monocyte/macrophage:T lymphocyte ratio except. occasionally. at 1 :9. However, this was overcome if the

ALTERATION OF T-LYMPHOCYTE SUBPOPULATIONS IN SUBACUTE AND CHRONIC BRUCELLOSIS
Human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. A number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. Since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the T-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. In this study we found alterations...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effects of Ramadan fasting on lymphocyte subpopulations in a two‐year follow‐up
Today, the intractions of the immune system of the immune system, nutrition, and nervous system are one of the main research areas of interest in immunology and disease treatment. Due to changes in the mood, behavior, and diet of an individual during fasting period, the body's internal homeostasis is affected. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Ramadan fasting on lympho...

متن کاملRNA content in human lymphocyte subpopulations.
Human peripheral blood lymphocytes are stained with the metachromatic dye acridine orange and the fluorescence of individual cells is measured by flow cytometry. The relative content of stainable RNA per cell is estimated by comparison with RNase-treated cells. Non-T and T lymphocytes have different mean quantities of RNA per cell, and these classes exhibit different distributions of RNA conten...
متن کاملAntigen-specific electrophoretic cell separation for immunological investigations.
Preincubation of human blood lymphocytes with cell surface antigen specific antibodies under non-capping conditions reduces the electrophoretic mobility of the corresponding lymphocyte subpopulation. Antigen-positive and antigen-negative cells can be separated by free flow electrophoresis with high yield, purity and viability. The use of fluorescence-labelled second antibodies augments the indu...
