Epidemiological studies indicate that in chronic HD patients, bacterial and viral infection rank second place in mortality and morbidity, behind cardiovascular disease. Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) is very prevalent in some Hemodialysis (HD) centers. We have investigated lymphocyte subtype count and immunoglobulin levels in hemodialyzed patient with HCV. We studied 55 patients with end stage...

post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a lymphocyte proliferating disease, usually of b cell origin, and rarely of t cell. involvement of liver itself in liver transplant recipients as the primary organ is not common. herein we report our experience in two patients who primarily presented in the allografted liver, both of whom were promptly diagnosed after liver biopsy and treated succ...

T-cell activation is the net product of competing positive and negative signals transduced by regulatory molecules on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) binding to corresponding ligands on T cells. Having previously identified DC-HIL as a receptor expressed by APCs that contains an extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain, we postulated that it plays a role in T-cell activation. To probe this...

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the correlation between various clinical results, including recurrence in patients with breast cancer, and preoperative blood composition ratio postoperative pathological results.Methods: A total of 444 who underwent surgery were included, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR), results classified into ca...

Following mitogen stimulation (phytohemagglutinin or concanavalin A), feline lymphocytes were maintained in medium containing feline interleukin 2. Lymphocyte lines derived from the blood of feline leukemia virus-infected cats contained cells 50 to 90% of which expressed virus antigens, but lymphocyte lines derived from uninfected cats remained virus free. Leukemia virus-positive and -negative ...
